In this, our first episode of The Editor Life Podcast, we introduce you to Editor in Chief of DeVore Editorial, Jaclyn DeVore, as well as Senior Copyeditor & Query Coach, Angela Houston. We believe your editor life gets to be easy. You get to enjoy the work you do. You get to be so fulfilled by the way you serve others that there’s no room for self-doubt or limiting beliefs. We’re here to demonstrate that there’s no such thing as competition in the editing industry. There’s only community.
We also recognize that the publishing industry is continually shifting, and the modern editor has to keep stride alongside it. If you’d like to build a better editing business, expand your skillset, and learn to solve the unique challenges that come with being a freelance editor, Editor Life is here to help you, the modern editor, thrive—even amidst the swiftly changing tides of our industry.
