I just wanted to let you know that your helpful tip on Listing the Threads in my WIP and reading the story from start to finish is being such a great help with my story. I had felt that there was something off with my story and couldn't put my finger on it. I know now that there was some disconnection in the story. Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation and helpful hint. - Maeve Hi Karen – It was great meeting you at the ENCORE 2011 Workshop.

I just had the opportunity to take a look at REAL REVISION and I think it came out well. It is such a well thought out and organized book. It surprised me how much goes into what I do... and I've written and revised 5 novels already! It was great to be a part of this book.

I always shared the importance of revision with my students. As an author as well as an educator, I knew of the power of revision. But to have a book with other authors sharing their strategies? Brilliant! Kids are always hesitant to change their words, so any additional motivation to convince them to revise is great. Thanks for sharing this. It is wonderful of you to support other authors.
