206. Editing Essentials 2: Why You Need an Editor

This is the second episode of the series called “Editing Essentials” that I am doing with my co-host, Jennia D’Lima. Jennia is a freelance editor based in Maryland. She and I will be having open conversations about a whole range of editing topics that a writer at any level should know about editors and the editing process. Our plan is to do two of these per month, and ultimately combine them into a website and webinar that we would offer to listeners. Today’s topic is “Why You Need an Editor,” episode 206 of the podcast.

205. How to Be Better at Freelancing

My guest today is Rai Cornell. She has worked in  copywriting, content creation, and web development for 15 years, and now runs a successful marketing firm providing advice to a range of clients, large and solo. I asked her to be on the show to talk about the business of being a freelancer, especially as a writer or editor. And she came through, talking articulately from a base of solid knowledge, experience, and training about what a freelancer can do to improve their business.

202. Creativity, Self-editing, and the Practical Aspects of Just Writing

My guest today is Michael Stangeland. He published a sci-fi novel earlier this year called Junkworld: The Ballad of Leroy Brown. We talk about this a little, but we mostly concentrate on the desire to create things in the first place, how it often starts young, and how a writer manages to get things finished.

189. An Essential Deliverable from Your Editor: The Editorial Letter

I’m solo today and I want to talk about one of the three things that you should get back from your editor when they send you back your edited text. One is that document. The other is the style sheet, which I covered in a previous episode (see the show notes). And the other is a carefully and clearly written cover letter.
