Writers of fiction may think that their first draft is the best shape a story can take. But first drafts are often about finding what the story is, not how best it can be told. To get to the final shape of a story, the writer must rewrite and revise. In this 9-week class, we will follow author Matt Bell’s three-draft strategy and learn to revise fiction. Suitable for writers who have drafted at least two short stories or 50 pages of a novel, this class will focus on revising and rewriting past drafts through generative exercises, group discussions, and peer workshopping.
Class dates: 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20, 11/27, 12/4
Instructor: Apoorva Bradshaw-Mittal (they/she) is a Pushcart-nominated, gender/queer author from northern India. They hold a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Mississippi, a BTech in Software Engineering from Delhi Technological University, and an MFA in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College. They want to tell stories that break the monolith of the Indian diaspora and present desi queerness in all its twisted beauty. Their short stories and essays have appeared in The Rumpus, Catapult, Electric Literature and elsewhere. Other writings have appeared in New Ohio Review and IEEE among others. They have been a fellow at Roots Wounds Words (2023) and Lambda Literary (2022), and a Visiting Professor of Creative Writing (fiction) at Ohio University. Now they teach, write, and edit by the great lake Erie where they live with their spouse and chocolate lab.
