A Novel Ending
Writing a novel is hard. Revising a novel can be an even bigger challenge. But don't fret! We have your back. Join us, authors Joanna Mercer and Kat Abbott, as we chat about the highs, lows, and trickeries of taking your first draft to a final, polished manuscript. We hope each episode gives you more tools, inspiration, and motivation to tackle your own revisions. If you love learning about the craft of writing, then this podcast is for you!
A Novel Ending
Beware of These While Revising Part 2
In the second episode of our Revising for Clarity series, we chat about fluff chapters–what they are, how to identify them in your manuscripts, and what you can try to give them more substance. We also talk about stage direction - when too much detracts from your scene versus when you might use it to your advantage - as well as why it’s a good idea to write to genre expectations.
