Your writing can find new life and new readers when properly reused. We'll examine excerpts from memoirs repurposed for op-eds, blogs, essays, and flash pieces, as well as writings from these smaller works that made their way into books. You'll learn techniques for modifying the excerpts for different formats, have your questions answered, and leave with a set of PDFs for future reference.Class description
