Revision Is the Story: a six-week short story workshop with Bethany Ball (In Person at HVWC)

Hudson Valley Writer's Center 300 River­side Drive, Sleepy Hollow, NY, United States

I like to think of a first draft as the block of marble we’ve dragged up from the quarry into our studio. The first draft might be roughly the size and shape of our story but without revision, we cannot bring out the unique qualities that will cause a story to leap off the page and grab a reader by the throat. In this class we will use generative exercises to create new work and lovingly workshop stories so we can […]

Each box includes a poem, often featuring local writers, plus a journal. The poets involved in the project through the years have been both published and unpublished, ages 9 through eighty […]
