What you'll learn
Annie Dillard talks about structural mysteries that can seize our work if we don’t carve out structure in early drafts. One tool I’ve applied to every developmental editing project I’ve had over the years is a treat for shaping up that structure.
In this intensive, we’ll get curious and practice applying that tool to early drafts. And bonus, we’ll explore how doing so might just be the perfect way to appease the inner critic.
Bring a work in progress or work with the drafts we’ll develop in session. Leave with fresh progress and an exercise you can fit into your unique process.
Thursday, July 31 — 3–6 pm PDT / 6–9 pm EDT Enrollment: $75
