Write. Read. Repeat. A Revision Workshop with Rachel Gabriel

“I see revision as a beautiful word of hope. It’s a new vision of something. It means you don’t have to be perfect the first time. What a relief!”  — Naomi Shihab Nye

Join Rachel Gabriel for a three-hour workshop on the often misunderstood tool of revision. Together, we will give new vision to your writing through a series of independent and small group exercises. We will focus on key areas of revision, including word choice, point of view, and sensory detail. This workshop is best suited to participants who have generated work that they are willing to change, play with, and transform. Though there will be opportunities to share, this is not a critique space. Rather, it is a safe space for artistic growth and experimentation. Bring three to five typed and printed pages of your work (prose and poetry both welcome), a pencil, and an open mind.

Class meets in person Saturday, February 14, 9 am – noon.

Class size: Minimum 5, maximum 15.
