Beyond the Paragraph: Teaching Writing in Middle School with Structure

What Publishing Taught Me About Teaching Writing Ep. 7


Listen Later

When I became a published author, I thought I understood revision...until I met my editor. And then my second editor. And my third.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really happens in the publishing world, all the way from developmental edits to line edits to the final proofread. This changed everything about the way I teach writing. 

You'll hear how authors revise in stages, why feedback is always focused (and never rushed), and how we can bring that same layered process into the classroom.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by student drafts and unsure when or how to give feedback, this episode will give you a fresh structure. Enjoy!
