Welcome back to The Writing Apothecary and our interview for revision. Today's guest is published author Jess Faraday and we talk about all things revision. As a traditionally published author she has a different take on revisions and an important one.

In today's chat we talk about:

First drafts
Time between revisions
Looking as aspects
How to flip the revisions on their head
And some great nuggets on when to revise.

I really loved this chat and it was such a fun and refreshing take on revisions.
