Revise Without Regret: Techniques to Breathe Life into Your Writing with Cindy Matthews 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Are you a writer who hesitates to cross out your precious, hard-won words in early drafts? Do you find yourself struggling with revision? In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore three powerful techniques that will transform your writing without losing its heart. Through hands-on activities and focussed strategies, you’ll learn how to approach revision with confidence and creativity. Bring a sample of your work—a short story, memoir, or a chapter from a work in progress—to apply these techniques in real-time and start seeing immediate results. Workshop facilitator, Cindy Matthews, is an award winning author of two collections of short stories, Took You So Long (Porcupine’s Quill, 2022) and The Roach Family and Other Stories (DarkWinter Press, 2024). She lives in a blue house on a hundred acre parcel in Bruce County, Ontario.
