LWW20: Let’s Talk About Editing


Listen Later

We’ve entered the dog days of summer, but Clare isn’t showing signs of fatigue. Her introductory skills have reached a new level, impressing the heck out of TB. Please give a round of applause for Clare!

TB has big news. Her latest novel: A Shot at Love (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TZRLFV9), book one of The Village Romance series (https://lesbianromancesbytbm.com/the-village-romance-series/), has been published. Woohoo! Clare’s book, A Taste of Love, the second book of the trilogy, will be out the week of July 24th.

Clare has had a week of watching the Women’s World Cup and hearing Elizabeth Gilbert speak. The two discuss Gilbert’s books, and Clare says Gilbert is an engaging and authentic speaker. Both TB and Clare love to hear writers talk about their process. Clare recommends Rachael Herron’s How Do You Write Podcast. In fact, Clare’s been a guest (http://howdoyouwrite.net/episodes/103). Woot!

In ice cream news, Clare reveals another flavor from her book, A Taste of Love. TB actually gives Clare the double thumbs-up. A first in LWW history!

The duo moves on to the main subject of this week’s episode: editing. They dive into what editors do. How do you get one? How do you work with one? Clare and TB break down the three types of edits they recommend: developmental, copyedit, and proofread. It’s imperative to find an editor who understands your writing style and whom you can trust. They agree that going through the editing process is a wonderful education, and each project helps them hone their craft. The bottom line is: editing is an investment in your future and in your writing business.
