Revision Roadmap
A Novel Workshop with Erin Stewart
Available spots
Service Description
$605 until March 15 / $655 NOVEL WORKSHOP: REVISION ROADMAP So, you finished writing a chapter, the first half of your novel or maybe even an entire draft. . . . huzzah! Now what? Now, we revise! In this class, we’ll use Erin’s revision roadmap to tackle developmental edits that will ensure your plot, characters and theme are all working together to build the strongest story possible. We’ll identify your characters' backstory wounds and make sure the plot changes your characters, page by page. We’ll tackle plot points, especially four critical scenes so that the pacing never lags, tension never quits and each scene brings your character closer to that all-important climax. Whatever stage of your novel you are in (from outlining to full draft), this class will help you think through the building blocks to make your story great. You will leave with either a strong revision plan for your manuscript or a solid plan for writing that first draft. All students will receive critique from Erin Stewart, as well as a class critique. Materials to Submit before class: · First 3 chapters (or first 7,500 words) of your latest draft · A 1-page synopsis of your novel JANUARY & FEBRUARY ONLY!
