The Writer's Dish

It’s a dilemma a lot writers of face: You’ve written a book, but you know it’s a little rough. You think it might need an editor’s eye before you send it out to agents or publishers.

But what kind of editor?

How do you find one?

And how much will it cost you?

In the latest episode of The Writer’s Dish, host Amy Miller and editor Scout Cox dish on what freelance editors do . . . and why you might need one.

Jennifer Rood is up for just about anything in her writing. The Rogue Valley resident just published a book of found art and found poetry from the COVID-19 pandemic, and spent some time as an artist-in-residence at the Oregon Caves.

Jennifer shares her experiences with host Amy Miller in the latest edition of The Writer's Dish.

Our literary podcast delves into artist-in-residency programs at National Parks and Monuments, how to find them, and how they can inspire and nurture writers.

For decades, Edwin Battistella taught college students how to write and write well, while practicing what he preached in his own books. Those taught broader audiences things like how to apologize and truly mean it, and how to insult a U.S. president with style.
