Fiction Revision - Spring 2025

You may have completed a draft, but the story doesn’t end there. In this workshop, learn about the necessary art of revision for fiction projects. From the big-picture, structural overhauls to the line-level details, revision is the key to a stronger manuscript that most closely matches your vision—and that can give you the best shot of publication. Participants must have a piece of fiction (short stories, flash pieces, and novel excerpts are all welcome) ready to submit at the beginning of the course. After an initial workshop, writers will share their revisions by presenting their process to the class while also receiving more feedback and discussing ideas and potential goals for the piece. Workshop pieces will be limited to 20 pages in standard manuscript formatting (double spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font).
