Yosemite Romance Writers is proud to present their online workshop for March
2010.

Date: 3/1/2010 - 3/26/2010

Workshop title: The Art of Rewriting with Martha Engber

While there's a plethora of information about how to write the first draft of an essay, short story or novel, clear and useful advice on how to rewrite and polish work for publication is much harder to come by. How long should a rewrite take? Do you address problems separately or together? What methods do successful writers employ? In workshop, you'll get those answers while learning how to plan and implement a rewrite on a piece you're currently working on. Through discussion and rewriting exercises, you'll also learn:

.. the three levels of editing
.. how to break the job into manageable pieces
.. how to estimate the time necessary for completion
.. which rewriting strategy works best for you
.. why rewriting can make you a better writer
