6/7/11 ** Day 11 Book 13 ** Heard draws on her extensive experience as both a writer and writer-in-residence in many schools to craft this book about revision. The gist of the book is that revision is not something writers engage in at the end of the process, but something they do throughout. While Heard doesn't focus specifically on 6 traits, three chapters do deal with revision for words, structure, and voice, so the book will be useful to those who are follow the 6 traits teaching model.
