Beyond the Draft: The Novel Revision Workbook
Plan + Revise Bundle
You finished the draft. Every writing guide congratulates you here, and almost none of them tells you what to actually do next.
Beyond the Draft: The Novel Revision Workbook is a 309-page fillable revision system: one cold read, one honest diagnosis, then the repairs, in the order that keeps them from undoing each other. Every writing line is a real text field. Type into it, save, pick it back up on any device.
Inside:
A cold read protocol — five marks, no fixing allowed, and a verdict before you touch a sentence
A diagnosis phase — a reverse outline, a beat retrofit, and an edit letter you write to yourself, turning symptoms into causes before rewriting
Eight structural repairs — each one taught before it's asked of you, with the principle, the false fix, and a worked case
A full scene pass — a triage ledger for every scene, plus seventy-two printable scene cards for laying the whole book out on the table
A line pass with an AI watchlist — dialogue, interiority, and the tells that make prose read machine-made
A readiness gate and beta kit — a checklist that says when the book is done, and a reader map for getting real feedback
The launch runway, the query lane, and the synopsis — both roads out of revision, prepared
Genre lanes — revision guidance tuned to ten genres, fantasy through literary
The control room — thread trackers, continuity trackers, and a who-knows-what grid for the whole manuscript
For writers who'd rather decide than drift.
309 pages. Over 2,400 typeable fields. A tappable contents page that jumps you straight to any phase.
Perfect for writers with a finished first draft, self-editors preparing to query or self-publish, and anyone who's been told "just revise" one too many times.
