Description
Chapter summaries are not just for book proposals. When written with an eye toward revision, chapter summaries can give you a birds-eye view of your narrative arc, reveal gaps, tangents, and extraneous characters, and help you eliminate or refine flagging chapters. During this one-hour breakout session, we'll look at how to write revision-focused chapter summaries, analyze them, and use these insights to move your project forward.
