The Rewrite
Embrace the Backspace
Description
The Rewrite is a writing workshop podcast where our hosts, Sarah Holman, Thomas Grossi and Jared Graham each week critique a piece of writing from our listeners and peers. As students in the writing program at UVic, we are offering peer review and feedback using Liz Lerman’s Critical Response for all genres of writing. Our hosts look at what is working in a piece, respond to the writer’s questions, ask questions of our own, and offer opinions or suggestions. It’s tie to embrace the backspace and start rewriting!
In our first episode we dive into the script “Safe and Sound” by Eric (Arie) Kwakernaak which has recently been shortlisted for the Annual Screencraft Screenplay Competition. The script is a drama with a hint of horror wherein 10 year old Zeke stumbles across an old safe that has the power to bring objects to life.
Special thanks to our Audio Engineer and intro song writer, Michael John Lo for editing the podcast!
