Your Next Draft

The Most Joyful Editing Feedback I Ever Give


Listen Later

Here’s what happens when you absolutely NAIL IT in your story.

Sometimes, you just nail it.

The ideas click. The words flow. The revision works.

Those days are my favorite days to give my clients feedback. When the pieces finally fall into place and the story is transformed for the better.

On those days, I get to share my most joyful editing feedback.

And in this episode, I’m sharing that feedback with you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why objective and subjective feedback are essential for great stories
  • The difference between your assessment of your story, your beta readers’ assessment, and your editor’s assessment
  • What happens when you and I both know your revision works
  • And more!

Most of all, though, in this episode, I’m celebrating you. I’m celebrating all the hard work and incredible progress you’ve made in your editing this year.

It’s a short one, but a good one, and a great way to wrap up your year of writing.

Happy editing, and I’ll see you in 2024!
