S4E11 - Revision

Published: April 20, 2022, 7:27 p.m.

This week, we\u2019re talking about revision. We discuss a chapter of Stephen Koch\u2019s The Modern Library Writer\u2019s Workshop that\u2019s one of the better nuts-and-bolts revision guides, common drafting issues, the role of feedback and workshops, why revision is often taught poorly or not at all, and what our processes look like. Also: our recent appearance on a more professional podcast, some sports talk, Mary Karr, Ecco Homo, Van Halen, and more!
