Revision Without Tears: A Writing Workshop with Boise City Writer-in-Residence

  • Library! at Cole & Ustick 7557 West Ustick Road Boise, ID, 83704 United States (map)

I love revising because it’s when my usually terrible first drafts start to become something I can be proud of. In this workshop I’ll share (and we’ll try using) a few of the methods I employ to make revision seem not only possible but genuinely (kind of) enjoyable.  

Revision is often where the real writing happens. Guided by Don, participants will learn and practice several revision strategies he uses in his own work to make the process feel not only manageable, but even, dare we say, enjoyable.

Together, the group will experiment with practical tools for re-seeing and reshaping drafts, focusing on clarity, structure, and voice. This workshop invites writers to approach revision as a creative act rather than a chore, and to leave with techniques they can return to again and again.

No registration is required, but space is limited. This workshop is geared toward writers of all levels and genres. Please bring writing materials, such as a notebook and pen.
