CRITIQUE & REVISE
Read your draft aloud to someone and get specific feedback. Revision can incorporate all of the suggestions or none. Work to remove the unnecessary, add what's missing. Don't be afraid to do a rewrite. Then go through the cycle of draft – critique – revise, until the content is set.
PUBLISH
Print your publication professionally using an online publisher like Blurb. You can also use a local printer to make beautiful copies publications of books and magazines for your audience. Create digital PDF copies to share for free with your students' families, too. Host a book launch for your work with fellow authors, parents and teachers.
