workshopping
- 1Present participle and gerund of workshop.
The writers are workshopping the screenplay before the table read.
Workshopping the manuscript with peers exposed several weak chapters.
Note
The -ing form does double duty here. In "they are workshopping the script" it is the progressive verb, and in "workshopping the draft took weeks" it is a gerund acting as subject. Either way it stays transitive and wants an object: you workshop a play, a pitch, a chapter. Its narrowest use belongs to the theater, where a draft is revised by rehearsing it with actors. More broadly it covers any collaborative reworking. Note the doubled p.
