Replay! Reel in New Writing Depths

A workshop on developing early drafts to get the bones right with deep questioning

Enter the joyful, freeing practice of guiding your writing from draft to polished vision.

In this workshop, we’ll

  • Talk about what makes “good art” and “success”

  • Practice seeing our work as both reader and editor 

  • Explore why that leads to deeper understanding and greater emotional honesty

  • And apply deep questioning exercises so we can 

    • Try new stuff and see where experimentation takes our work

    • Discover more about our motivations as writers and the characters or topics we write about

    • Strengthen our narrative voice

    • Transform anecdote into art

    • Change on the page and let our readers see that change

You’ll get

  • Two deep questioning worksheets

  • Slides with resource links

  • A glossary of writing and editing concepts
