A podcast that asks authors about their editing experiences
In part 2 of our interview, the writers and editorial masterminds behind Networking for Freelance Editors, Brittany and Linda, cover the steps they took to make their book accessible. Linda issues a challenge to all writers. Plus we talk about how they customize the editing process to make it work for their writing and lift up some excellent editors and resources in our Hot & Wholesome Gossip Corner!
This week I’m joined by two–that’s right, two–fabulous editors and writers of Networking for Freelance Editors, Brittany Dowdle and Linda Ruggeri. Brittany and Linda share how they picked the editors who worked on their book, the philosophy that drove all their editing decisions, and some really solid advice for how to vet editors if you’re not already in the editing community. Plus, Linda and Ariel talk drool-worthy marinade recipes.
This week, I’m joined by YA writer and fellow podcaster Sarah Nicolas. You may have also read their romance writing under Aria Kane. Sarah shares tips on how to survive writing an entire draft in 4 weeks, the process they undertake from “I hate this” to “my editor is a genius,” and how they were able to swap services to get editing when they had no budget for it. Plus they kindly correct a common misconception that even I had about Pitch Wars and we go off on a tasty tangent about chocolate.
This week, I’m joined by veteran writer and editor Joni Sensel. Joni shares the questions she tackles in editing her work and how it's the same (or different) for corporate writing and tech editing. We also talk about how different genres have changed her approach, her writer-illustrator relationships, and how long the runway can be for publishing. Plus her furry editorial assistant chimes in!
