Workshop: Revising Short Fiction
This workshop will encourage students to create a short story based on a "real life" experience via revisional strategies. The thing that no one taught me in grad school was how many times a piece of fiction needs to be reviewed, reconsidered, revisited before it becomes a polished piece of work. I hope this workshop will serve as a quick yet useful immersion in the process of revision.
