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.
