Epi 134 Mar 4 2023 Processing My Editor's Edits, Plus Updates

Written By Eric Love

Having received my manuscript back for book three, The Singing Bones, I had my work cut out for me processing the notes and edited provided by my editor in her developmental edit of the manuscript. In this video, I talk at length about how I approach my editor’s notes, specifically as I try to balance her efforts to make my book appeal to a mass audience against my own intention of writing in a more literary style of fantasy, which doesn’t satisfy typical reader expectations for books written to market. Oh, and I discuss all of this in my hoochie-daddy shorts. You’re welcome.

I am a story teller. The goal of a story is to move people in some way. Whether with video, words or images and graphics, my end goal is always to tell a good story. When your story is told successfully, it expresses your strengths and the unique way in which you fill a need or want. With every service I offer, I seek to answer this question: what is the best way to tell this story? Showing always beats telling.
