SHOW NOTES
This is Part Two of the Three Acts of Revision series.
You've read your draft like a reader. Now it's time to evaluate what you found.
In this episode, the SCOPE method of revision planning identifies strengths, uncovers structural weaknesses such as story structure, character arcs, argument flow, and momentum—and it helps you determine how to resolve them before you begin rewriting. It addresses common questions such as:
How do I revise a novel without feeling overwhelmed?
How do I edit a nonfiction manuscript structurally?
What should I fix first in my first draft?
Use the SCOPE approach to develop a clear, focused revision plan before you dive into your next draft.
Act One: Read
Act Two: Plan
Up next: Rewrite

Episode 30: Three Acts of Revision, ACT I, Read
Your first draft is done—congratulations! Now comes the next big challenge: revision. But before you start tinkering with words or rearranging sentences, it's time to step back and see your manuscript the way a reader would.
In this first episode of The Three Acts of Revision mini-series, we focus on Act One: Read. You'll learn how to approach your manuscript with fresh eyes, avoid the temptation to edit too soon, and capture the insights you'll need for a powerful rewrite later.
Whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction, this approach will help you find both the strengths worth keeping and the gaps that need attention—without judgment, pressure, or overwhelm.
