As promised, here's the information about my next workshop. For those who have asked about the next Book in a Week workshop, that will start in early January. I have details up on my website April Kihlstrom and will post here later in December but this gives you a chance to mark your calendars. Note that because I've had a number of people ask to take my classes more than once, there's a discounted rate if you've taken the class before.
For now, the next workshop I'll be offering is Revisions the Easy Way (called Revisions the Practical Way last time around).
Cost: $30 ($20 if you have taken this class before and are taking it again)
Dates: December 1, 2008 to December 12, 2008
Format: All classes via email so you can read them and post responses any time of day.
Deadline to sign up: November 28, 2008
Class size will be limited so that students can ask questions, post homework responses (if they so choose), do brainstorming, etc.
Course description:
I believe there is a far easier AND MORE EFFECTIVE way to make revisions than to start with page one and go through to the end. This class will look at a layered approach to making changes with the knowledge that every change has a ripple effect AND there are questions one ought to ask oneself before one does anything.
Lessons are designed to take the author through the revision process in a way that minimizes the rewriting time. It is based on the concept that if one asks the right questions—in the right order—before one begins rewriting, the process is easier and faster and more effective.
To sign up for Revisions the Easy Way send an email to aprilkihlstrom@yahoo.com with the title of the class in the subject line and in the body of the email please let me know whether you prefer to pay by check or Paypal. (Note: Please let me know if you have taken the class before.)
