Revision Writing Site is a blog that will focus on the art of narrative craft. Each week I will be posting articles that will focus on a different aspect of narrative craft. Usually these will come from the textbook that I use to teach in my fiction workshops at the City University of New York. In addition to the articles on technique, I will post writing exercises (prompts), and will point you to exemplary stories (usually available online) that illustrate the techniques discussed in the post. I hope this site will help you with your writing, and will be happy to answer your questions if you use the Contact page to get in touch. Now, let’s get to the first technique.
