February: Ask Your Editor
Your monthly insight into your editor's mind
Ask Your Editor is a monthly space where I respond to reader questions about writing, revision, and the creative process. Each month, I select a handful of questions and walk through them, explaining how I’d approach the issue as an editor and reader, based on over 15 years of experience working with manuscripts at different stages.
Behind the Scenes: I purposefully record these in one take with no editing because I want you to hear how I think about the questions and concepts in real-time with no script.
This month’s topics:
Working with psychologically intense material and characters
How to manage an ever-expanding middle section
How to choose and trust an editor, understand audience fit, and determine the right stage and type of editing for your manuscript
Ask Your Editor is available to paid subscribers. If you’d like to listen to January’s edition to see how this works and if this is valuable for you, check it out for free below.
