Marginally | Revision Method + Madness

When people speak about revision, it's usually long after the book has come out.

I wanted to make sure that we spoke about revision from the inside this season, so I was delighted that Olivia and Meghan from Marginally, my writing podcast pals, were open to coming on and sharing about the projects they are currently revising. Once again, you get the insight of two guests in one episode.

We discuss perfectionism, the desire to just get the first draft right, and the times when the problem isn't the way a few sentences are structured or how the description works, but rather the way the whole book hangs together. If you're well into revision and feeling frustrated and worried that the book may not make it, this is the episode that will get you to the other side.

Most people believe that books are created in cabins all alone, where authors pound away on some manner of keyboard. Then they hand this masterpiece off to a publisher and it feels very much like it goes down a tube and comes out the other side as a book. By speaking to authors and other book lovers, I'm diving into the mystery that is the book world today.
