Our next ReWrite Workshop starts soon

Have a first draft of a novel kicking around, but don't know how to tackle a second draft? If you live in the Toronto area, CommuterLit has the solution. Our next face-to-face, six-week ReWrite Workshop, led by CL editor Nancy Kay Clark, will start in soon. Group numbers are intentionally low to give as much attention as possible to each participant's manuscript.
Email the editor for more info.
Here's what one recent participant had to say:

"I found Nancy's ReWrite Workshop to be exactly what I needed in my writing journey. As promised, the workshop helped me understand how to tackle edits to help move the manuscript from a first draft state. I'd highly recommend the workshop for anyone who has struggled to understand how to revise and edit a manuscript. I gained insights into what was working or needed revising in my story, while gaining instruction on writing craft." — Trish Knox
