A podcast that asks authors about their editing experiences
This week, I’m joined by kidlit writer and copyeditor Anna Dobbin. Anna shares a secret of dynastic proportions while discussing her experiences in writing and editing pieces for two middle grade anthologies. Plus we chat about her conscious language services, in-house versus freelance editing from both sides of the desk, and what’s gone into her win jar recently.
This week, I’m joined by queer romance writer Skye Kilaen. Skye shares her process for finding beta readers and editors she can trust, how she weeds out toxic criticism, and how she took a sensitivity reader’s feedback to totally reshape a story. Plus we chat about in-house versus freelance editing and our favorite romance tropes.
This week, I’m joined by award-winning historical fiction writer Alan Brennert. Alan explains the differences between revising work for screenwriting versus novels, how he infused his historical novels with cultural awareness and sensitivity by accurately capturing the language, how he navigated a change in editors between novels, and what it’s like to be edited by his wife. Plus, he breaks my entire heart by sharing his misadventures with copyediting.
