Revision is the spiritual practice of transformation - of seeing text and, therefore, the world with new eyes. Done well, revision returns us to our original love.

In LIVING REVISION, award-winning author and teacher, Elizabeth J. Andrew, guides writers through the writing and revision process. With insight and grace, Andrew asks writers to flex their spiritual muscles, helping them to transform their writing as they in turn transform into more curious and reflective human beings. Her expertly honed techniques, exercises and personal examples will help writers invigorate their work and themselves as they engage the human heart within and across the page. LIVING REVISION is no mere guide with tips and tricks - although it does have those - but a deep and reflective well for writers to draw from as they strengthen their relationship to the creative source.

Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew teaches memoir, essay and journal writing at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is a recipient of a Minneapolis State Arts Board artists' fellowship and the Loft Career Initiative Grant and a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award. Elizabeth is, also, the author of Writing the Sacred Journey and On the Threshold, as well as the novel, Hannah, Delivered.
