You’ve sweated through a first draft of your essay or short story, maybe shared it with friends and gotten feedback. Maybe you’ve just read it to your cat. The question is, now what? In this class, we’ll be dipping our toes in the water of revision, looking at tools for taking that first seedling of an idea and helping it grow up strong and healthy—or knowing when to gently return it to the compost pile. Join us on May 15, 2021 from 1-4pm to participate in the workshop!
By the end of this 3-hour class, you’ll:
- Learn tools to help you start revising your fiction or creative nonfiction
- Hone your skill at listening to your writing to hear what it needs
- Share a short piece of your writing and get feedback from the class
- Explore what to do when you get stuck—and when to throw in the towel
- Grow your ability to tell if your piece is ready or needs more work
- Connect with a community of other writers
Our scholarship policy asks that you identify as meeting one of the two following criteria:
1."I certify that my household income is below the living wage as outlined here.”
2."I certify that my household income is above the living wage but additional circumstances make me unable to afford the workshop registration fee."
To request a scholarship, simply email literature@artlitlab.org and indicate which course you are interested in, which of the above criteria best describes your current situation. We are able to offer up to 50% off of the regular registration fee. Classes are subject to cancellation due to low enrollment; in that instance, only tuition paid can be refunded.
