Reviews
"""The Six-Step Revision Process is a wonderful resource for any author, whether they just finished their first book or their hundredth. It breaks the revision process down into a step-by-step process with small, bite-size pieces that help make revising a manuscript feel less intimidating and not nearly as complex. It also provides helpful charts and lists of other resources. And bonus-it's a fun read. I plan to use the concepts learned here for my revisions and for anyone I mentor."" -- Despina Karras, author, #KissPitch mentor, and founder of the #PitchDis online pitch event."
