This skill is invaluable not only for the writer whose work is discussed but also for those making comments. This workshop will teach you how to examine a piece of writing analytically, focus on both strengths and weaknesses, and make comments that are constructive and not destructive. Through this process you’ll learn not only how to help other writers but also improve your own work.
