At the SCBWI Winter Conference in New York I had lunch with my editorial agent, Mark McVeigh. He was kind enough to give us a Revision Tip of the Day. Since that lunch Mark started a blog with fascinating posts on the publishing industry. You can visit Mark's blog at http://themcveighagency.blogspot.com/

Wonderful tip, and I'm ahead of the game as I've set my ms aside for about three weeks. I'm going to revisit it next week with a fresh eye!

Time and distance are essential for me in revision. Great tip from Mark and thanks Tina!

Great tip! I try this and then the ms in the drawer haunts me. Ha ha. So I jump on to writing something else and that helps a lot! Thanks for sharing.
