After putting so much effort into getting a draft over the finish line, it can be hard to look at it objectively and find potential issues as you revise and edit. Fortunately, this is a skill you can learn! Author Jessica Raney will teach you how to overcome this roadblock and evaluate your work with a keen eye. She'll also share her favorite techniques for fixing these issues to help you get one step closer to your final draft.

Jessica Raney grew up in the hills of southeastern Ohio looking for the Mothman and every other thing that goes bump in the dark Appalachian night. These days she resides in Houston, Texas and translates her love of Appalachia and dark things into stories that combine crime, fantasy, and horror into Appalachian Supernatural Noir. Her genre-blending series, Tooth and Nail showcases her love of all things creepy and quirky. When not writing, she’s navigating Houston traffic and enjoying the Gulf Coast with a weird little dog named Gimli.
