Novel Metamorphosis: Uncommon Ways to Revise, 2nd edition
Novel Metamorphosis is the result of 20 years of teaching writing and is the workbook for my Novel Revision Retreat. In order to come, you must have a complete draft of a novel and we spend the weekend revising that novel. You go home with a complete plan for revising it.This 2nd edition is also a result of teaching the retreat across the nation As I talked with writers and followed their progress after the class, I realized that one more component was needed, and that was how to write a scene. This edition includes a new chapter on how to revise your novel to improve scene selection and execution.The results are clear: after every retreat, I get an email from a writer who has broken through to publication. It's thrilling. You, too, can be published, if you do the necessary revision work to bring your story up to today's rigorous standards. I hope this book will be part of that journey.Darcy PattisonWriter and Writing Teacher
