The Next Draft with Laurel Cohn

Have you got a finished manuscript? Are you bogged down in the revision process? Are you resisting approaching the next draft because it all feels too hard and you don’t know how to go about it?
This course helps writers understand the role of redrafting in the development phase of a manuscript, how to go about it, and how to survive it. Breaking the process into stages, participants will learn strategies and tools to apply to their own work, with the course format designed to guide and support them as they tackle the next draft.
The course is for writers of fiction and narrative non-fiction with a complete draft of their manuscript who are willing to explore the challenging inner terrain that underlies critical engagement with one’s own work.
When: Friday 13 & 27 October, 10 November & 1 December
- 10am - 1pm (1st & 2nd session)
- 10am - 4pm (3rd & 4th session)
Price: $500 members/ $450 non-members.
Group size: 10 participants max. Please note all BWF workshops require a minimum 80% enrolment to cover costs.
