So you've written something. And you like it, but you're still not sure. Writing is communication. But communication is not what you say - it is what the reader hears. There are some important things to consider when evaluating a piece you've written: Does it say what you meant to say? Will readers get what you meant to say? Is it enjoyable to read? Will readers want to read it, and will they continue all the way through?

In this four-part writing workshop, we will explore methods for evaluating ,and revising your own written work, so that you are ready to share it with confidence and pride. Additional dates for this series are: Saturdays, October 28, November 4 and November 18.

Lisa Kleman, a former English Adjunct Professor, is now enjoying teaching Creative Writing while she researches, writes, and gives public talks about her relatives — the musical Dossenbachs — who lived in Rochester in the decades just before and after the turn of the 20th century.
