Episode 30: Three Acts of Revision, ACT I, Read

from Write, Writer, Write! · host Deborah Froese

Your first draft is done—congratulations! Now comes the next big challenge: revision. But before you start tinkering with words or rearranging sentences, it's time to step back and see your manuscript the way a reader would. In this first episode of The Three Acts of Revision mini-series, we focus on Act One: Read. You'll learn how to approach your manuscript with fresh eyes, avoid the temptation to edit too soon, and capture the insights you'll need for a powerful rewrite later. Whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction, this approach will help you find both the strengths worth keeping and the gaps that need attention—without judgment, pressure, or overwhelm.
