An oldie but goodie rec for writers (for novelists but helpful to those writing short stories) Susan Bell’s The Artful Edit: On the Practice of Editing Yourself (2008). She treats revision as an art form & offers examples, a case study that you can follow w/ some cool interviews.

A photo of the book cover that looks like a composition, notebook, sort of, with “artful” added it to the title using proofreader insertion marks in red ink.
