The Art of Rewriting
Every Wednesday | 7 - 9 p.m.
April 5 & 12, 2023
This 4-week workshop will be in person on the OSU-Tulsa campus and via Zoom from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. on the following Wednesdays: March 22nd, March 29th, April 5th, and April 12th. Participants will undertake rewriting an existing (unpublished) work of prose--fiction or nonfiction. Emphasis will be on rethinking such elements as formatting, pace, word choice, and--most importantly--desired readership. Attendees may either bring an older work--any medium--or create a new one for rewriting purposes. Instructor: Michael Wright Instructor Bio: Michael Wright is an avid explorer of writing dedicated to examining the thousand-and-one questions about what makes humans so truly wondrous and downright contrary at the same time. His works range from novels and plays to poetry, radio drama and performance art/spoken word. Each new creative effort seeks out the possibility of continual experimentation with forms and pushing the limits of expression. Registration will close at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 20, 2023.
