Join Kelsey Ford, novelist and creator and director of Bookish in the ‘Burgh, for a Novel Revision course for teens. This three-session course will provide support and resources for teens who are currently revising novel-length work or plan to revise their novels in the future. The course is recommended for teens ages 13-18 who have written or are currently writing a novel-length piece. Participants can expect to gain new information and resources about revision and paths to publication. They will also have the opportunity to build relationships with other teen novelists.
In this hour-long Zoom workshop, teens ages 13-18 will learn and practice professional strategies for published authors to use for revising and editing novel-length creative writing projects.
