24PearlStreet Workshops and Events
LIVE via ZOOM: 6:30pm-8:30pm (Eastern Time)
We’ll look at strategies for revising prose beyond the workshop, managing different kinds of self-editing with an eye toward readying pieces for submission and eventual publication.
Please bring a story or essay that’s been revised but still feels “unfinished” to practice new approaches. The seminar will also cover submission strategies and what to expect when working with magazine editors.
All writing levels welcome.
