This was easily one of the most useful courses I have ever taken in my writing career.
In Revise with Hannah Tinti, One Story Co-Founder and Executive Editor Hannah Tinti will share techniques and exercises that she’s developed over the past two decades as an editor and teacher to help bring your work to the next level. You’ll examine the foundation of your story, shore up the framework of your plot, plumb the emotions and backstories of your characters, sharpen dialogue and point of view, and refine your language and theme. By the end of the course you’ll have new skills, a helpful to-do list, and pages of new material to move your revision in the right direction.
This course is geared towards fiction (both short stories and novels), though lessons can be applied to other forms of writing. Students should have a first draft completed to best utilize classroom prompts and exercises.
This is a self-directed class. There is no instructor oversight or discussion element. Students will have access to the content for one year after their date of purchase.
