Dear Novelist: Would you like your readers to live your stories, not merely read them? Deep Point of View anchors your readers inside the point of view character(s) of your novel. This handbook shows you how to perform the transformation from ordinary narrative to deep narrative in clear, easy-to-master steps. I invite you to sweep your writing to the next level with a technique that creates immediacy and intimacy with your readers and virtually eliminates show/don't tell issues. My Best to You, Jill

You’ve typed The End on your novel manuscript and rejoiced with the Happy Dance. Congratulations! Then you take another look and begin banging your head against the desk. Your precious baby isn’t ready to send out into the wide world of publishing. Too raw. Too immature. It’s time to buckle down and edit, edit, edit. Where do you start and what do you examine and revise in order to buff that sparkle into your wonderful work—er, potentially wonderful work? This little handbook, The Art of the Edit: Shaping and Sculpting Your Novel, offers valuable tools in reaching your goal of a manuscript that is refined, fit, and feisty.
