Join us on Saturday, May 11th for our Branch Meeting and Luncheon
Making the Mud Pie into a Palace: How to Revise Your Novel
featuring Rachel Herron
Novel revision is often feared, reviled, and avoided…sometimes for years. You’ve spent a long time crafting your book, and you know it needs revision, but the idea can be overwhelmingly daunting. How, exactly, do you dive back into it? Where should you start? How long should it take? Approached systematically, with a plan in hand, revising your novel can happen sooner than you think. In this session, you will learn how to save the passages that are keepers while culling the ones that don’t make the cut, and at the same time, you’ll learn your own ideal editing process to make revision manageable and fun.
- Learn how (and where!) to start your revision.
- Learn what tools you need (and don’t need) to revise your book.
- Learn how to tell when you’re (finally) finished revising.
Rachael Herronis the internationally bestselling author of more than two dozen books, including genres in thriller (under R.H.
