Summary: Packed with advice for the budding writer
Comment: This was a very enjoyable book to read. The author leads you through the various ways and reasons to edit your work.
As I read the first chapter, I wished for a more compact version of these points, sort of a Cliff Notes approach. But Mr. Murray's expanded approach was certainly more enjoyable and personal.
Although the book is perhaps targeted to a more experienced writer, I underlined many points that I will refer to for help. A beginner might be over-whelmed with all the great techniques on revision, but just the first two chapters alone will yield a dramatic pay-back for his efforts.
The book is interspersed with interviews with other authors and their responses to the author's questions also provide useful information, and add credibility to his points.
"The Craft of Revision" captures the subject of the book. You'll learn more about revising your copy than you probably can use for a long time.
I highly recommend this book.
