Manuscript Magic
This is only revision system you will ever need. Once you have it, you will be able to revise any fiction manuscript at a very high level simply and easily.
You will never worry about revision again.
That's a promise.
Manuscript Magic uses a unqiue simple three step system to help you identify and correct your manuscript's problems:
1. Checkup.
Answer simple Yes or No questions about your manuscript on three different levels (story, scene and sentence).
2. Diagnose.
Match your Yes answers from the checkup to problem spots in your manuscript and find specific solutions.
3. Fix.
An expert video guides you through the revision technique that fixes the problem in your manuscript. An accompanying PDF sums up key points from the video and acts as an easy reference you can use during the revision process.
Manuscript Magic works on any fiction manuscript, from picture books through long novels.
Now anyone -- regardless of experience -- can revise their fiction manuscript at an exceptionally high level. It's easy and it's fun!
