Press the "Better" Button: A Revsion and Editing Workshop
You have a first draft and it's OK. Maybe better than OK. But something about just doesn't sit right on the page. The story drags, the characters are vague, or the settings are humdrum, and you don't know how to fix it. Don't worry. Craft master James Scott Bell will show you how to make your writing explode off the page! In this one day class, he'll share his tried and true method for turning your paper kindling into a blazing bestseller. You'll learn how to write hot, revise cold and make every line 200 percent more exciting. You'll even get feedback from James on the first page of your story. By the end of the class, you'll have an opening page that screams "read me" and a treasure trove of ninja revision skills to finish that ailing book with panache and gusto!
