In the December '08 issue of The Writer magazine, contributing editor Chuck Leddy, also a reviewer for The Boston Globe, cites Manuscript Makeover: Revision Techniques No Fiction Writer Can Afford, a 368-page book by Elizabeth Lyon, as among the "10 great writing books from '08."
He writes: "Perhaps the most comprehensive book yet written on the process of revising fiction."
Don't forget that Elizabeth Lyon will be presenting for Willamette Writers Salem Chapter in June. You DO NOT want to miss this opportunity!
