Revise, Cry, Repeat

1 hour 21 minutes

In this week’s episode, Write Where it Hurts delves into revision. Eva and Katryn share their extremely alliterative tips for how to survive a rewrite (Eva: pep talks, pastries and prosecco; Katryn: coffee, carbs, crime boards) and discuss how to self-critique without being unkind to yourself. Stay tuned for another fun post-credits outtake scene featuring a very special guest star!
