12. How to revise your writing like a pro

This week on Conversations with Parents who Write, I’m going to share with you a variety of revision techniques that are applicable for articles, blog posts, essays, books, and more.

Specifically, what steps we can take to make revisions less overwhelming? To not lose momentum? And to organize our thoughts more easily?

To answer these questions, I’m going to share tips and tricks I’ve learned during my 14 plus years as a magazine and book editor.

In this episode, I share which methods worked best for me and my clients to help us see more clearly the structure of our projects. I also discuss how following this progression and using these techniques breaks down the revision process into easier chunks.

And let’s connect via my Facebook group, Parents Write Now, at https://www.facebook.com/groups/parentswritenow.
