I decided to wrap up this blog series by asking people which books they’ve found most helpful when tackling revisions. I’ve compiled the responses below. I hope there’s something here that will prove to be exactly what you need! (If your fave isn’t on the list, please mention it in the comments!)
- A Passion for Narrative, Jack Hodgins
- Between the Lines, Jessica Morrell
- Manuscript Makeover, Elizabeth Lyon
- Second Sight, Cheryl Klein
- Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, Renni Browne & Dave King
- Sin and Syntax, Constance Hale
- Techniques of the Selling Writer, Dwight Swain
- Writing the Breakout Novel, Donald Maass
Thank you again to all the awesome authors who shared their great tips for Fix-It Friday, and thanks to all who contributed a book recommendation. Happy revising, everyone! Have fun crafting your strongest stories possible.
I’ll have to check these out. Thanks for the suggestions!
