Class – The Tactical Reviewer

Next class date is Saturday, August 13, 2022, 9:30-11:30 AM Pacific time.

Forget about writer’s block, looking at a manuscript and wondering how all the changes you can make will ripple out and effect the entire work can cause a writer to freeze entirely. But revision doesn’t have to be daunting. In fact, revision should be just as creative, and just as full of joy and experimentation, as any other facet of the artistic process. But it is in revision that we shape and cut our stories out of being just stones, and turn them into glittering diamonds.

Join Tobias Buckell for a workshop in which they will teach you to examine tactics for approaching revision that make it less something to be feared, and will give you tools to take the joy of writing up a level.

Classes are taught online and require reliable Internet connection, although in the past participants have logged on from coffee shops, cafes, and even an airplane; a webcam is suggested but not required. They are recorded for the benefit of class members only.

Cost is $99 ($79 for former students, which includes classes/workshops with me in other venues, such as conference or convention workshops and mentoring sessions). Patreon supporters receive a discount or free classes, depending on their support level.

To register for this class, send an email with the following details:

You will be invoiced when the class slot is reserved.

Free scholarships: If you cannot afford a class but really want to take one, apply for a Plunkett Scholarship. Each class has three slots reserved for such students, and the sole criteria is only that you can’t currently afford the class. To apply for a Plunkett, which covers the entire cost,mail me and tell me why you want to take the class in 100 words or less. QUILTBAG and PoC candidates are especially encouraged to apply. The Plunkett Scholarships are named for Edward Plunkett, who wrote as Lord Dunsany. Scholarships are given out on a rolling basis; I suggest getting them in sooner rather than later. You may apply for multiple classes.
