Karen M. Smith has 30 years of professional writing and editing experience in both corporate and freelance capacities, which affords her a unique view from both sides of publishing: the author's and the editor's. She's made all the mistakes--primarily thinking because she's an editor that she didn't need one--and learned from them. Now she writes frequently on the topic of producing good content, usually focused on fiction writing and always focused on what it takes to write well and produce content that engages readers.
