Revision Challenge: From Draft to Polished

What do you do when your manuscript is done? How do you “fix” your story?

This course is perfect for nervous writers who completed a draft (well done!) but know it’s not perfect (it’s never perfect). You’ll look at the smallest bits of story elements, re-examine intentions, tear apart your outline, justify your characters, strategically place amusing dialogues, gain control over your author voice, and more.

Although the instructor supplies subjects to look at each week, she’ll base discussions on your writing styles and content. You’ll end the course with an improved manuscript and a clear approach for your next novel.
