Do you want your writing to grab the attention of editors and readers? Would you like to dial up the intensity and impact of your prose or poetry? Focusing on improving your writing at a word-and-sentence level can transform ordinary writing into award-winning writing. During this live online workshop, Bethany Jarmul will teach techniques and strategies to help you rethink your writing, reenergize your language, and make revision fun. We’ll explore examples from virtuoso writers and learn how to apply their techniques to our own writing. We’ll do live “try it now” exercises, so you can try the techniques and ask questions.

What You’ll Learn

  • Strategies and techniques for effective editing and revision.
  • How to utilize the musicality of language to make your writing sing.
  • How to use compression and defamiliarization to “wake up” your language and create powerful prose or poetry.
  • Common writing mistakes to avoid and what to do instead.
