Taming the Fire: Mapping Out Your Revision
with Charlotte Gullick
May 28, 2025, 6:30-9:30 pm (Online)
In this class, you’ll create a roadmap for what is needed to revise a book-length draft into an engaging manuscript.
Students will assess what they have on the page, what is still needed, and create plans for closing the gap, while honoring the initial spark that started the work. Participants are asked to bring the first 5 and last 5 pages of their current draft, as well as 5 middle pages. We will look for themes, primary symbols, and subplots to deepen or eliminate. We will explore willingness (or lack thereof) to let go of current pages in order to create better ones.
