How to Revise your Manuscript Using a Reverse Outline – Review of Jeni Chappelle’s webinar.
By Lorraine Ambers
Hello my fellow writers and welcome! This week I’ve completed my fourth manuscript; a speculative fiction called Entangled of around 90’000 words. Finishing the first draft is a fantastic moment, but it’s also only the beginning of a novels journey to completion. I’m currently in an odd position where I have three novels all at different phases of the revision process. I must admit the task of tackling a first revision is still as daunting as it was the first time. I recently attended a webinar by editor Jeni Chappelle who has a wealth of experience, so I thought I’d share it with you.
The first part of editing may seem counter-intuitive, but it’s vital: Put the MS down and forget about it. Leave it . . .
