SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Fix It\, Make It Better: The Fine Art of Revising Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Revision\, some say\, is the hardest part of writing\, but this stage can also be the most rewarding and pleasurable.\n\n\n\nFor Memoir and Nonfiction ProseIncluded in the Season Pass \n\n\n\nCapturing our memories—vividly\, thoroughly\, and carried along by palpable emotion—takes skill and concerted effort. But the task of writing compelling memoir doesn’t end there. Once we’ve given the story our best shot\, once we’ve powered our way through an early draft or two\, how do we take what we’ve created and use the powerful tools of revision to make the memoir shine? \n\n\n\nContrary to common wisdom\, this is one task where it’s often not productive to start at the beginning. A story has multiple moving parts—sentences\, paragraphs\, chapters\, the beginning\, and the end. Successful revision happens when we learn to step back from our writing\, making deliberate choices about when to intervene\, where to intervene\, and what changes will work best. \n\n\n\nThe key to effective revision—whether you’re writing a memoir or a six-page personal essay—is understanding that revision can take multiple approaches. Learn how to weigh those choices with intention\, and walk away with tools you can apply to any project\, in any genre. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nLEARN how to enjoy revision\, looking forward to it with anticipation\n\n\n\nDISCERN which revision approach works best at what stage of the writing\n\n\n\nOVERTURN that nagging feeling that you have been “revising forever”\n\n\n\nFIND the best ways to establish what should be included in the memoir and what should be left out\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is ideal for writers at any level\, at any stage who…\n\n\n\n\nare uncertain how to effectively improve early drafts\n\n\n\nworry they spend too much time polishing and re-polishing sentences\n\n\n\nfind revision unpleasant or worrisome\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of our most popular and beloved presenters\, DINTY W.
