In this episode of The Editor’s Half Hour, Nadia Pupa talks with Marie Ellis, founder of Muse Content and an experienced editor and content strategist. Marie shares how she helps authors and organizations shape their ideas into clear, meaningful content while staying grounded in the joy of editing.

Together, we explore:

·       What it means to find your “happy place” as an editor

·       How to create a balance between editorial precision and creative satisfaction

·       The role of confidence in building an editorial career

·       Practical ways to stay motivated when projects feel overwhelming

·       Why connection—with writers, clients, and other editors—matters to sustaining joy in the profession

Whether you’re new to editing or a seasoned pro, Marie’s insights are a reminder that editing is more than correcting—it’s about clarity, collaboration, and content that resonates.
