You’ve finished your draft and now it’s time to revise! …What does that mean again?
Whether you’re planning to tackle revision on your own or thinking of hiring an editor, revising your work can feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what your draft actually needs. Is it a big-picture structural overhaul? A refinement of your voice and style? Grammar? And how do you know where to start?
This class is designed to demystify the revision process and give you a practical framework for approaching it systematically. We’ll explore the differences between developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading, and practice reading with an editor’s eye—learning what to look for as a piece moves from early shaping to final polishing.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how to navigate each stage of revision, greater confidence around knowing what your work needs, and a structured approach you can apply to your own work.
This class focuses on:
Craft & Technique: Focuses on the building blocks of strong writing.
Close Reading & Analysis: Engages deeply with published texts to examine craft, language, and style.
Workshop: Students submit work and receive feedback from the instructor and/or classmates.
Cost: $75. More info and registration here.
Students say…
“Grace was very kind and intelligent, she is a great listener and I really appreciated how organized her class was. She sent out notes from start to finish and it was very impressive and not something you see everyday in an online course.”
“Grace is a very gentle but honest teacher; I appreciate how she is her end goal is for us to be excited to keep writing AND get better, and she wants the feedback we give to accomplish that. I think that shows a lot of empathy.”
