Your book editor isn't right

Hiring a book editor can feel like going to a mechanic: "Tell me how to fix my story."But evaluating a novel isn't like diagnosing a blown head gasket. Editors help writers understand reader experience, uncover possibilities, and discover what their story can become.In my decade as a professional book editor, I've learned what the most productive author-editor relationships have in common. And using this approach can not only help you get the most out of your editing experience, but can also make you a stronger writer.🌳 Join our free Writing Woods community: ⁠https://writingwoods.com⏱️ TIME STAMPS00:00 - Why editors aren't supposed to be right00:42 - Welcome to the Writing Woods01:07 - What is developmental editing?01:37 - Finding the story's potential03:56 - Understanding an editor's feedback04:25 - The author-editor collaboration05:43 - How line editing works06:40 - Why editors make different choices07:10 - What an editor's job really is08:33 - Discovering the story you're meant to tell🎧 WRITING WOODS PODCASTYouTube → https://writingwoods.com/youtubeSpotify → https://writingwoods.com/spotifyApple → https://writingwoods.com/apple📚 BOOK EDITINGThoughtful, passionate editing → https://victoriagriffin.com📌 FOLLOW MEInstagram → https://instagram.com/vgriffinauthorFacebook → https://facebook.com/vgriffinauthor
