ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

So you want to be published? It's been said that after the wild creative outpouring, real writing happens in the art of revision. Your best chance of attracting readers is through strong revision, or “re-seeing" of your work, to appeal to readers of all stripes. Writers who learn to love revision are more likely to write publishable work that wins readers and leads to deeper satisfaction in the writer's craft.

This presentation helps any writer with the goal of publication learn to love revision. You can learn to enjoy revision by breaking it down into simple, successful “waves," and easy-to-use “tools" that you'll use over and over.

By the end of this presentation you will not only have tackled revision issues within your work but will be able to embrace remaining revision with a positive attitude.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• Four fun strategies that give each stage of revision a ‚Äúpersonality"
• How to inventory what you have before you begin to revise
• How to allow access to your wild creativity
• Pleasurable methods for sharpening and tightening
• The difference between ‚Äútinkering" and ‚Äútransforming"
• A painless plot overhaul
• How to identify what's missing from your manuscript
• How to add page-turning tension on every page
• A final checklist on whether you're ready to seek publication
