On Revision by William Germano
A trusted editor turns his attention to the most important part of writing: revision.
"All writers are, or should be, re-writers, Germano insists, and rewriting begins with rereading, with "listening" to what your text wants to sayThe advice compiled in this revelatory, generous book--tips on discovering or rediscovering your argument, on organizing its archive, on helping your readers identify its takeaways--will be useful for everyone from seasoned authors to dissertating graduate students. Best of all, interspersed with the practical counsel, On Revision contains a moving vindication of the importance and the pleasure of scholarly writing and reading." --Deidre Lynch, author of Loving Literature: A Cultural History
William Germano is the author of several books, including Getting it Published: A Guide for Scholars and Anyone Else Serious about Serious Books and From Dissertation to Book, both also published by the University of Chicago Press.
