My Biggest Takeaway From Coaching Writers in 2023

Your Next Draft

What dozens of manuscripts and dozens of writers all have in common.
This weekend, I celebrated the one year anniversary of launching my editing business.
And since the one year mark is a pretty major milestone, and we’re nearing the end of 2023, I’ve been looking back.
I’ve edited dozens of novels and coached dozens of writers this year. And while the stories vary widely, there’s one theme I’ve encountered in them all—and it applies to your story, too.
In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned from a year of coaching writers and editing novels.
You’ll hear:

• What new and experienced writers both have in common
• Why it’s helpful to you and me when I share everything I know about editing here on the podcast
• Why all the writing craft resources in the world can’t put editors out of business
• And more!

It’s been a wonderful year of editing, full of amazing stories and equally amazing writers. And I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store!
