Have you ever wondered how a piece of writing goes from the first draft to the final product?
Writer In Motion aims to lift the veil on the writing process!
#WriterInMotion is a 7-week collaborative project with (now) 24 writers and 4 professional editors revealing the in-depth iterative process each participating writer goes through in crafting a short story.
You’ll get to see each writer’s:
- Drafting process
- Story Analysis
- Self-Editing Techniques
- Incorporation of critiques and editing suggestions
- Every draft – from unedited first draft, to polished final product
The process involves four rounds of editing:
- Self-editing.
- Incorporating feedback from two of the 22 participating writers.
- Incorporating feedback from one of the four professional editors.
- Final edits.
