Make your writing soar
You’ve got that first draft done or almost done. Or maybe you’re on your 2nd, 3rd, or LAST revision and you’re working toward the finish line.
You’re ready for REVISION BOOTCAMP.
Sign up.
Get your marching orders.
Working with other recruits attack your revisions.
Or. . .
Maybe you’re looking for a REVISION RETREAT.
Sign up and escape.
Be inspired to increase your creativity and productivity.
Engage with other creative souls and watch your revision dreams soar.
Whichever you choose, be ready for daily support, accountability, check-ins, revision lessons, plenty of camaraderie, inspiration, and productivity. No more writer’s solitary confinement.
Set GOALS. For the month, the week, the day. And then. . .
REVISE. REVISE. REVISE.
Novel, short stories, query, synopsis. Your choice. Your goals.
And you can. . .
Sit down with a virtual latte. Share your gold star accomplishments, including daily goals achieved, contest entries, contest wins, agent submissions and signings, publications, etc. Join your classmates for a cup o joe and cheer each other’s big and small wins which can spur your own goals and ideas.
Order a virtual martini. Throw out your questions to your bar mates and brainstorm. Hop onto a stool, share a drink, and help out a writer in need. Creativity feeds creativity.
Having a bad day? Not meeting your goals? Your mother-in-law showed up and she’s eating into your revision time?
Sit down, relax, order a chardonnay and whine. Rants are welcome too. No judgment. Grab a glass of merlot and commiserate.
Do you have a description that you fear may be too flowery?
Have some dialogue you want to run by someone else’s ear?
Are you re-writing and re-writing and re-writing the same page? Maybe the first page? To help you move on, pop in, order a virtual sandwich, and post a piece of your work for a critique from me and your fellow classmates.
As a critique buddy, come on in and offer a fresh set of eyes. Just remember the Critiquing Golden Rule: critique how you’d like to be critiqued, fair and honest and kind.
Become inspired to focus on your writing and revision.
To commit. To prioritize. To accomplish more.
Thirty days filled with writing support, camaraderie, and learning, all to ensure your writing and revision goals become a reality.

A great instructor? Check. Active classmates? Check. A supportive atmosphere? Check. Suzanne's Revision Bootcamp gave me what I needed to get my pages into shape.
I love taking ALL of Suzanne's classes, but this is my fave. Maybe it's the choice of kicking butt or kicking back. LOL Camaraderie and interaction are key elements, but it's the sense of finding your way that hooked me. Suzanne is a skillful guide.
Selfishly, this is my favorite of all Suzanne's classes. No matter what stage my book is in-- synopsis, first draft, second draft, or just running around in my head, I can participate in Bootcamp and benefit from Suzanne's sharp, quick, concise, and accurate, editing pen. Whatever stage your book is in, this class will catapult you to the next level--LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS CLASS!
