Rackham/Sweetland Workshop: How to Make Revision Count – Revising Practices for Graduate Students

Rackham/Sweetland Workshop: How to Make Revision Count – Revising Practices for Graduate Students

The most critical phase in the writing process is also the most mysterious and least taught. Revision is especially challenging for first-year graduate writers learning to write extended academic arguments. What do academic writers do when they revise their work? How does an early draft become a polished, publishable article?

This workshop will demystify the role of revision in academic writing–to advance and refine our good ideas!–and provide strategies to help you build quality revision into your writing practice. You will expand your revising practices and elevate your writing skills for graduate school.
