Jacqui Banaszynski’s Literary Forensics: A Diagnostic Tool to Improve Writing
As a diagnostic tool, says Jacqui Banaszynski, the literary forensics technique she developed and uses in editing and teaching helps writers identify their habits, strengths, and weaknesses, and then correct them in revisions. “This technique hasn’t changed the way I write,” she says. “I still let myself write the way I always have in the first draft. But it has changed the way I revise.” Here, Banaszynski shares the technique with Christina Selby, who demonstrates it on a piece of her own unedited writing.
