"Revision is the spiritual practice of transformation-of seeing text, and therefore the world, with new eyes. Done well, revision returns us to our original love."In Living Revision, award-winning author and teacher Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew guides writers through the writing and revision process. With insight and grace, Andrew asks writers to flex their spiritual muscles, helping them to transform their writing as they in turn transform themselves into more curious and reflective human beings."I love this book. You feel as if you are in a workshop with a writing mentor and spiritual guide. Elizabeth breathes new life into the revision process, seeing it as a spiritual practice to get to the heart, soul, and truth of one's story and of oneself. " --Rabbi Elana Zaiman, The Forever Letter: Writing What We Believe For Those We Love."Living Revision is smart and rich and humane, and oh so full of good questions." --Katrina Vandenberg, author of Atlas.
