He secured an agent right away when he wrote the book in 1980, but the agent struggled with getting a publisher because it was perceived as both a crime novel and a literary novel. He was told by a second and then third agent to rewrite it, which he did both times, but received the same rejections. Heath then decided to publish the novel himself with a small press, where he was asked one more time to rewrite the story due to its dark nature. He refused and chose to move it to a different press where it was finally published just a few years ago. Although the rewrites were challenging, he truly feels the story got better each time.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-85/William-Heath-on-Writing-and-Rewriting-Devil-Dancer.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../William-Heath-on-Writing-and-Rewriting-Devil-Dancer.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/peer-reviews/6012/william-heath-on-writing-and-rewriting-devil-dancer---video/revision/1Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:57:59 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:9b90576a-cefd-4f5e-b87e-421a6c6e773dWilliam Heathhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/writing/getting-feedback/w/peer-reviews/6012/william-heath-on-writing-and-rewriting-devil-dancer---video#commentsRevision 1 posted to Peer Reviews by William Heath on 2/17/2017 3:57:59 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>Author William Heath&#39;s first novel, Devil Dancer, explores the world of Lexington, KY in 1972 and the shooting of a prized race horse.
