Angela Maniak, To Revise or Not to Revise Workshop

Managers often act as editors of their work team's writing, and they frequently find themselves caught up in a whirl of revisions, rewrites, and delays. They may find that writers become discontented and procrastinate on their writing assignments. These are costly consequences of a necessary review and editing process. In this workshop, you will discover how to:

Break out of a costly review and editing cycle.
Establish a review process that adds measurable value.
Encourage collaboration between writer and reviewer.
Gain measurable payback from the time you spend reviewing others' writing.
Reduce the amount of time you spend editing.

Who Should Participate

Anyone who is responsible for reviewing somebody else's writing.
Anyone who wants to cut editing time and improve writing abilities dramatically.

What You Can Expect

This one-day workshop is highly applied and practical. Participants start with self-assessment exercises to gain insight into their own practices. Through exercises and problem-solving discussions, participants learn to see the editing process from the writer's point of view, and they discover new and more constructive ways of giving feedback to writers. Participants use samples of their own work, and they create targeted action plans to implement on the job.
