<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Your first draft is a work of imagination, but that doesn't mean it's a work of art--not <i>yet</i>. With Jack Smith's technical and inspirational guidance, you can turn your initial draft into a compelling story brimming with memorable characters and a page-turning plot. <p/>As Jack states inside <i>Write and Revise for Publication</i>, writing is a complex act, one that calls upon all the powers of our creative resources, imagination, and intellect. Top-notch storytelling is not achieved the first time around, nor should it be expected so soon. But it is possible. Through Jack's detailed instruction and precise methods, you will learn the revision techniques and fine-tuning skills needed to create powerful, polished works ready to submit to magazines, agents, and publishers. <p/>As inspiring as it is practical...combines great advice, apt examples, and a can-do spirit that will excite and improve any aspiring writer. --Ron Hansen, author of <i>A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion</i> and <i>The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford</i> <p/>I believe Jack Smith might have written THE BOOK on writing and revising for publication. Clean, direct, succinct--a book that is full of pure wisdom and truth, but also amazing technical advice. --Virgil Suarez, author of <i>Latin Jazz</i>, <i>The Cutter</i>, <i>Havana Thursdays</i>, and <i>Welcome to he Oasis</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jack Smith</b> has an MA in English (creative writing concentration); and a Ph.D. in English (American literature).
