I redid the the image for my free pocket guide to self-editing because I realized it might not be obvious that it’s a quick, super-mini-version of my 400-page monstrosity of an ebook The Complete Guide to Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. So if you’re not sure if the book is for you, you can take a peeksie at the free version to see if you like it, or just stick with the freebie because, well, free stuff.

Ognuno ha una favola dentro,
che non riesce a leggere da solo.
Ha bisogno di qualcuno che,
con la meraviglia e l’incanto negli occhi,
la legga e gliela racconti.
Pablo Neruda

Se tutti gli enigmi sono risolti, le stelle si spengono. Se tutto il segreto è restituito al visibile, e più che al visibile, all’evidenza oscena, se ogni illusione è restituita alla trasparenza, allora il cielo diventa indifferente alla terra.
Jean Baudrillard
