When you've completed a draft, how can you be sure that it is structurally sound? Reverse outlining is a scholarly writing technique that you can use to ensure your manuscript makes sense. You can also use reverse outlining to check your work against the structure you planned when you started work.
Participate in this workshop and you will learn to:
- Apply reverse outlining techniques to drafts
- Identify logical misfires in your writing
- Strengthen your arguments in scholarly writing
Please come to this session with a draft or final version of a current or completed writing project on paper or on screen. (Ideally, this will be a draft of the project you outlined at Strategies for Effective Outlining, the companion workshop that you will hopefully have attended three weeks earlier. But it could be anything that you're working on, or even a piece that you've already published. Any piece of writing can be productively subjected to reverse outlining.)
Danielle Barkley holds a Ph.D. from McGill University. She has taught courses through the McGill Writing Centre, the Faculty of Management, the Department of English and at Bishop's University. She has also provided writing and consultation services to the McGill Career Centre.
The workshop will be held on McGill's downtown campus on Tuesday, November 10, from 1pm to 3pm. Registrants will receive the workshop location in a confirmation email.
