How do you show students that revision is more than a classroom exercise to please the teacher? Take them into the real world of writing for publication. In Real Revision, award-winning author and teacher Kate Messner demystifies the revision process for teachers and students alike and provides tried-and-true revision strategies, field tested by students' favorite authors. Kate takes us on a behind-the-scenes look at how more than thirty-five authors--including Julie Berry, Watt Key, Loree Griffin Burns , Jane Yolen, Lisa Schroeder, Suzanne Selfors, Eric Luper, Danette Haworth, and Kathi Appelt--revise their works, often many times over, before they appear on library and bookstore shelves. Using successful strategies from her own classroom, Kate teaches how authors use research, brainstorming, and planning as revision tools; how they revise to add detail and make characters stronger; and how students can use those same techniques for all kinds of writing in the classroom. Real Revision features dozens of reproducible "mentor author" pages, with quotes from the authors about their revision processes, and includes related classroom-ready activities. For any teacher who wants to produce strong real-world writers, Real Revision will infuse the classroom with new energy as students use mentor authors as models for their own revision and writing.

If you help kids with their writing in any capacity, or are looking to improve your own writing skills, this is a must-read. Kate Messner is thoroughly engaging as she shares her own real-life experiences as both author and teacher. Along the way she introduces us to numerous other children's and young adult authors, who share their own insights into the joys and challenges of revising. The "try-its" that are inspired by each guest author's entry are not overly time-consuming and can be easily implemented in the classroom or in our own writings. Her passion for writing and for helping others to become better writers is clear: this book is an inspiration to redo, to "re-vision" your writing until you are telling the story that you truly intended to tell. Professional resources just don't get better than this one. ( )
