- Workshop: Writing and Revising with Editorial Support
- Tuesday, December 9, 2025
- 10am to 11:30am
Scholars' Lab, Shannon Library 308
Writing can be isolating, especially when deadlines loom and feedback feels out of reach. These 90-minute sessions offer a rare kind of editorial support: protected writing time, guided reflection, and live coaching from Heidi Nobles, editor and Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at UVA. Each workshop will take some time to focus on one of three major stages of the writing/revision process (idea development; structure and balance; and sentence-level style), and then opens up time for you to write, wherever you are in your project.
Throughout (and after) the session, you will have access to a trained Virtual Editor, personalized guidance from Heidi, and opportunities to talk through your work with peers. Whether you’re stuck with writer’s block, sorting through feedback, wrestling with organization, or struggling to find your authorial voice, come with a work in progress and see what changes. You’re welcome to arrive with just an idea—but if you’re farther along, you might gather a few materials beforehand.
