Deep Editing


We love it. We hate it. Without it, a story is doomed. This interactive workshop will walk you through a specific process for deep editing of paragraphs, sentences and words. We will cut and paste and move and chip away at our work until it is powerful. Please bring 3-5 pages of a completed scene from your short story, novel, or memoir.

Facilitated by: Kim Taylor*
