FICTION FORMULA FIX-IT: How to Revise Your Fiction

by Deborah Chester

Whether you intend to submit your fiction to a publisher or publish independently on a digital platform, knowing how to evaluate and revise your work without editorial assistance has never been more important. Modern authors must deliver clean, well-written manuscripts as market-ready as possible. FICTION FORMULA FIX-IT tackles the bewildering and sometimes intimidating task of revising manuscripts of any length—whether short story, novella, or novel. Although some writers embrace revision, others find it tedious at best and overwhelming at worst. The key is to tackle one task at a time, systematically and methodically. Learn how to evaluate and organize your rough draft, transforming it into a solidly crafted, polished, professional-looking manuscript.
