The Eden Mills Writers Festival presents an online workshop on The Joy of Revision, led by Kate Heartfield, Saturday September 7, 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. Register here – https://edenmillswritersfestival.ca/writing-workshops/.
Revising a long work can be a daunting prospect–but it can also be a joy.
In this workshop, author Kate Heartfield will guide you through her process, covering topics such as making a plan, working with feedback, and keeping your spirits up. She’ll give her answers to the two most common questions: Where do I start? And how will I know when I’m done? The workshop will also include two short writing exercises aimed at helping writers see the big picture, and some time for discussion and Q&A.
Participants will leave with:
A process tailored to their own writing style that they can use for future projects
A toolkit for revision
Increased confidence to revise a project of any length
$50 (save 10% if you register for more than one workshop.
