Mini-Workshop
Crash Revisions
Presented by Holly Lisle. Here's the scenario: Well-Known-Writer Britta Brigga blows her deadline, and leaves the lead slot for her category in the month her book was to be published wide open. So your editor, who has your manuscript sitting on her desk, emails you, saying, "If you can get the revisions done for me in a week, I can get YOU into that slot---with the lead slot budget and advertising and promotion.  IF you can turn the book around in a week."

This is not a hypothetical situation.  It's happened to me once (and in lesser situations, where the move up was simply to a better sales month, SEVERAL times)...and it happens to everyone from beginners with their first manuscript sitting on an editor's desk, to old-timers who've published a dozen or more novels in their careers.  It's the equivalent of having a star pitcher in baseball blow a rotator cuff, and being the rookie who gets The Call up from the minors to pitch in the pros.  

And it happens frequently, because there are a LOT of writers who can't or won't hit their deadlines.  Bad for them.  Great for you. It's a fantastic opportunity to move your book into a better position to be seen.  If you can do it.

In Crash Revisions, you'll learn how to do an editor's revision in seven days.   And how YOU become the pro who doesn't blow deadlines.
