"Revising a story, reuse some edited parts in a different story," says Christine @christinealemshah.bsky.social #revision #editors #author #kidlit #PB25Vibes #writingcommunity #publishing

"Revising the manuscript without personal attachment was the hardest," says Amanda. @amandadavisart.bsky.social #revision #editors #author #kidlit #PB25Vibes #writingcommunity #publishing

Blair @theislandwriter.bsky.social says that a manuscript can always be revised. There's always a word to tighten, a sentence to polish. #revision #editors #author #kidlit #PB25Vibes #writingcommunity #publishing

Is this the ending the story needs? Alison @alisonmcgauley.bsky.social also kept revising because the ending wasn’t quite matching the feeling, message, or arc she was aiming for. #revision #editors #author #kidlit #PB25Vibes #writingcommunity #publishing
