CRW 319 - Radical Revisions

All experienced writers talk about the value of revision and its necessity, but it’s too rare that students get the opportunity to delve into the nuts and bolts of the process. In this class, students will peer behind the curtain to look at the earlier versions of published work, and see how polished, artful works don’t emerge wholly-formed, but instead are the product of messy, inchoate, often numerous drafts. In addition, they will learn a wide range of revision strategies and techniques, and apply these works to their own fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction (3 Credits)
