If you have a messy first draft and no idea where to start revising, join me for Taming the First Draft, a hands-on workshop designed to help writers craft a clear, actionable plan to transform their manuscripts into propulsive novels that will have a higher chance of standing out in the slush.

In this workshop you'll learn:

• How to approach your revision with confidence and clarity, avoiding overwhelm.
• Mindset strategies to keep you motivated and focused throughout the process.
• Practical considerations for tackling the hard work of rewriting and restructuring.
• The Story Editor's Hierarchy of Needs—a framework to prioritize revisions and fix what's most important first.
• How to assess your novel with a critical, clear-eyed perspective.
• Essential tools and techniques to shape your story into its best version.
