Marie Force Talks Revision for the Revision Week Grand Finale

June 3, 2016

Marie ForceHere we are, Revision Week’s grand finale. The stunning author who’ll share her revision process on this big day is Marie Force, the New York Times bestselling author of over fifty contemporary romances. Her books have sold millions of copies around the world. Marie is amazing in her work ethic as well as with her storytelling. She publishes with traditional publishers as well as self-publishes, and she’s active on social media. What an honor that she took the time to talk about revision for Revision Week.

Part of Marie’s secret to productivity and storytelling that rivets readers? “If a scene I want to write doesn’t move character X’s story forward in a meaningful way, it doesn’t get written. I’m pretty ruthless when it comes to getting rid of the bloat and keeping my story zipping forward.”

As part of the grand finale festivities, today’s giveaway is a FULL Manuscript Edit by the Editor. Please jump over to DearEditor.com to read how Marie revises her novels and to enter the giveaway.
