WRITER'S RESOURCES
One recent participant said:
"My revised chapter has moved from nice to richer, deeper, funnier. And the finest part is that I feel so empowered - like I have the tools to make my writing the writing of my dreams, the writing I love to read. It is wildly exciting."
The goal of Darcy Pattison's NOVEL REVISION RETREAT is that every author will go home with
strategies for revising their own particular novel. For information on booking a retreat in your area,
