Revising is about listening and seeing again. Revising is a rethinking of the principles from the ground up to understand why the writer is doing something, why they're going somewhere, and why they're taking the reader along with them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn Revision\u003c\/i\u003e steps back to take in the big picture, showing authors how to hear their own writing voice and how to reread their work as if they didn't write it. \u003ci\u003eOn Revision\u003c\/i\u003e will show you how to know when your writing is actually done--and, until it is, what you need to do to get it there. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Germano\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eGetting It Published: A Guide for Scholars and Anyone Else Serious about Serious Books\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e From Dissertation to Book\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by the University of Chicago Press.
