Lit Fest 2024

Revision necessitates change, and change is everywhere in the writing process. It happens when we give ourselves space to grapple with a topic. It emerges in workshop when others contribute opposing views. It evolves because the world in which the piece was written has been fundamentally altered. Revision isn’t always about making things “better.” Sometimes, it's just about the complication of an idea. Sometimes, it’s about allowing for the complexity and the chaos. Revision is about grappling with the material, our audience, ourselves, and the world. This seminar will focus on the art of revision for social change.
