Revising as a Process

In our fourth and final part of our revision series, Amanda discusses how revision is a process, and how many authors hold many misconceptions about that process. Revision is not the linear process of going through your draft page by page. That's editing.

Revision is a out-in process, starting with reconsidering the work as a whole and then working down into the details. It's crucial to remember this about revision so you're not spending hours and hours painting that sandcastle.

Do you have a plan for actually finishing your memoir? If not, we know you aren’t making the progress you hoped for. That’s why we developed The Memoir Method Checklist. This free guide (and video training!) will take you through every single step you need from idea to published marketable book. Grab it now at https://pageandpodium.com/checklist
