116. What Revision Actually Uncovers in Your Novel or Memoir

Struggling with how to revise a novel or memoir once the first draft is done? In this episode, I reframe revision as the real heart of writing a book, not just fixing typos and tightening scenes. Learn why the self-editing process is emotional as much as technical, how to find the story underneath your story, and why writers lose themselves when they revise to please feedback instead of revising toward the book they meant to write.If you're deep in your own novel revision process or memoir revision and wondering whether you're doing it right, this conversation will help you trust your instincts and your craft again, together instead of at odds.Want to join my fall revision cohort?
