Deep Revision [Waverly Fitzgerald]
This class is for writers who have already completed a rough draft of an essay, short story, novel or nonfiction book. We’ll begin with an overview of your draft: we’ll examine themes and structure, focus on the dynamics of each scene or chapter, and evaluate the shape of each paragraph and efficacy of each sentence. Students will choose a published model to analyze. Publication strategies will be explored. The goal is to leave the class with a piece ready to submit or, for longer works, a plan for completion.
