How to Make Interesting Messes on the Page: A Workshop in Revision

Intended for writers who have been struggling with drafts of poems, stories or other writing that just…isn’t…working yet. In this workshop (or “playshop,” to use Elizabeth Shepley’s term), you will explore several different playful techniques for revising and revisioning material. The emphasis is on hands-on revision techniques, open-ended possibility, idea generation and imagining in new directions, and having fun with all of it. You will leave with new ideas and maybe even new writing. There will be time for writing, reflecting, and plenty of sharing and conversation. Pair with Sarah’s Saturday workshop & make a weekend of it!

Class size 15

Student Supply List Paper to write on and with and a favorite pen, pencil or other writing instrument. A few copies of current drafts that you would like to work on.
