There is no doubt that this book has something for everyone. For those of you who aspire to write and subsequently attract readers to your creations, this book is a must-have.

Rayne Hall has many books and I have yet to find one that is not useful. With the glut of poorly-written books (by well-meaning potential authors), “Novel Revision Prompts” fills a yawning hole that could save hundreds of thousands of books from being tossed on readers’ Did Not Finish piles.

This is an easy read, with each chapter taking about a minute to read. The book is helpfully divided into three sections of revisions: plot, scenes, and line editing. I read the book cover-to-cover, underlining chapter titles and related descriptions, noting the ones that I felt I could work on immediately to improve my own writing.

This is not a book to skim through and then file on the shelf. Ms. Hall’s book is a compilation of items that can’t help but improve your writing and increase the attraction factor of your book. Five stars.

"These are writing prompts, not editing prompts," I grumped as I neared the 25% mark of the book. And, then, in a blinding ray of inspiration, Hall pinpointed the issue I was battling within my current work in progress...which led to three days of heavy revision. So definitely some gems herein!
