Today’s post is sponsored by Lindsay Eagar and The Creative Revisionist!

The Creative Revisionist is a six lesson course designed to be completed at your own pace. Each lesson includes lectures, exercises, resources, and tools to help you make it through the revision process without yanking out your hair. Access to the materials is for FOREVER.

In this course, you will learn:

● How to examine your draft for revision prep work
● How to organize your notes (so there’s no mad shuffling of papers)
● How to find your story AND solve your plot problems
● How to say YES to your heart and write the book you want to write
● How to navigate through revisions using your own preferences and boundaries so you can be successful
● How to communicate with the doubts that arise and use them to your advantage

Includes a no-nonsense, step-by-step guide to revising a book and not hating it!


Do! Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature on Pop! Goes The Reader in which I pay tribute to some of the best and brightest the publishing world has to offer in the way of book cover design.

Please Note: I’ve done my best to credit the designers and artists responsible for the beautiful covers below, but was unable to find this information for a number of those listed. If you know of an uncredited designer responsible for any of these book covers, please let me know and I would be happy to include proper attribution in this post. Their work is lovely and deserves to be credited.

Hi! I’m Jen! I’m a thirty-something introvert who loves nothing more than the cozy comfort of home and snuggling my two rescue cats, Pepper and Pancakes. I also enjoy running, jigsaw puzzles, baking and everything Disney. Few things bring me more joy than helping a reader find the right book for them!
