Typing "The End" on your first draft is one of the best feelings in the world. But if you're like most of the writers I work with, that euphoric feeling is often quickly followed by (the way less fun) feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed.
Should you immediately reach out to beta readers?
Should you let your draft sit for a month before editing?
Should you revise chapter by chapter until you're done?
Writers have SO MANY questions about how to tackle revisions—and it makes sense. This process isn't for the faint of heart!
However, as a developmental editor and book coach who has helped hundreds of authors turn their messy first drafts into stories that work, I can tell you this: there is an art and a science to revising a novel—and it does not have to be so. dang. hard

"Savannah has this amazing way of making things super simple. The way she teaches removes all the overwhelm. I've taken other classes by her before (and I'm a huge fan of the podcast!) so I know that if I just trust what she says and follow the steps, I will get the results she promises. And that's exactly what happened after taking this workshop. I watched the training, took notes, and used the checklist to start editing my novel. I'm currently working through the big picture edits and... I'm actually having fun! I never thought I'd say that about editing. Thank you, Savannah!"
