There’s a moment, in almost every revision, that feels like cleaning out your closet.
Everything, suddenly, is on the floor. You wonder if you should have left it alone.
The door closed before you started! Now it’s a mess.
Expect this stage. It’s scary, but you need it.
Tackling a revision can be daunting–and sometimes sneaks in like an entirely new kind of writer’s block.
But there’s a way forward that helps you get to your vision–no panic, editing regret, or starting from scratch required.
While we covered the business aspects of handling an R&R with Thao Le earlier this year, now, agent Monica Rodriguez (Context Literary) takes us through the craft part of editing–how to deal with an overwhelming overhaul, and strategies on how to process receiving feedback so that revising feels less intimidating.
Whatever your editing stage, let’s learn best practices for where you are–and how to get your work ready for your next yes!
This class is open to all genres and age groups and comes with a replay available for 30 days.
Hope you can join us!
