Story Medicine: Creating More Depth in Revision

When people use the term "deep revision," they're usually referring to stark changes to a work-in-progress. But some of the strongest effects in a novel are actually achieved by subtle changes--subtle changes that reflect who you really are, what you really believe, and the deeper insights your story has yielded up in the course of revealing itself to you.

Becoming aware of these deeper themes and questions, and finding ways to focus on them in revision, can bring clarity to the revision process--and move a novel from good to great.
