These meditations reveal how revision is both a micro practice tracked by textual change and a macro phenomenon rooted in family life, institutional culture, identity commitments, and political and social upheaval. Contributors depict revision as a holistic undertaking and a radically contextualized, distributed practice that showcases its relationality to everything else. Authors share their revision processes when creating scholarly works, institutional and self-promoting documents, and creative projects. Through narrative the volume opens a window to what is often unseen in a finished text: months or years of work, life events that disrupt or alter writing plans, multiple draft changes, questions about writerly identity and positionality, layers of (sometimes contradictory) feedback, and much more.","brand":"Utah State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47578488733847,"sku":"9781646425488","price":9928.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781646425488.webp?v=1774906235","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/revising-moves-writing-stories-of-re-making-9781646425488","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
