Revising a book draft requires radically different techniques than drafting something new.  In this year-long program, writers will meet every other month to discuss innovative ways to see their drafts anew, set goals for the month ahead, and receive critical feedback on up to 300 pages of their work.

There are no upcoming events at this time.
