By the time you finish a draft of a story, you are mired in the minutaie, and you probably are struggling with weighing the small details against the bigger picture of your story as a whole. This can make editing and revising a pain. Fortunately, there's a solution.

Join author A.P. Hawkins for this workshop in which she'll share the magic of reverse outlining — that is, creating an outline based on your completed draft. It allows you to take a high-level at your progress and identify areas that may need revision.

Whether you've finished your first-ever first draft or you're a seasoned writer with many completed works under your belt, you're sure to gain valuable techniques and insights from this workshop.

A.P. Hawkins is a co-founder of Tomeworks, a collective of genre fiction editors who are passionate about helping authors build better books. She is also a speculative fiction author and editor based in Houston, Texas. She discovered her love for writing at a young age, when she spent weekends penning Lord of the Rings fanfiction into spiral notebooks. But it wasn’t until after earning a Master’s degree in plant community ecology that she decided she wanted to turn her love of writing fiction into a career.
