Nancy Pearson Almost Certainly But Not Quite Right: Poetry Manuscript Consultation Workshop Poetry March 27 to March 31, 2017 Number of Participants: 12 Price: $500 Format: 1 Week Asynchronous Workshop

This one-week personal class is designed to strengthen your poetry manuscript using a series of question-and answer-style prompts tailored for you. During the week, I will write comments about my overall impressions (what is your book “about”) and my ideas concerning organization, titles and thematic content. I will also provide line edits and comments for poems, including suggestions for rewrites, and comments on style and voice. You will also answer questions to guide the revision process. At the end of the week, we’ll have an hour-long conference call.
