Want a Glimpse into the Author/Editor Relationship?

Published: Thu, 08/04/16

Megan Linski is the owner of Gryfyn Publishing and the author of almost 20 books(!!!).

She’s also a freelance editor. MY editor to be exact!

As such, the latest episode of The Writing Coach podcast is particularly unique. Megan just finished editing my upcoming thriller novel, M School, so in addition to discussing her experiences as an editor and publisher, this episode gives a behind the scenes glimpse into the author/editor relationship.

During our conversation, Megan describes:

  • Her no holds barred approach to the editing process;
  • Why she recommends writers pay close attention the advice they get from editors;
  • How she wrote her first novel at 14 years old;
  • The advice she heard about entrepreneurism that lead her to starting her own publishing company;
  • Why she’s transitioned from a purely artistic mindset to a business mindset;
  • The benefits of working as an independent freelancer vs. a cog in the corporate structure;
  • How an editor can tell whether an author needs supportive or direct feedback;
  • The common problems she sees in manuscripts time and time again;
  • How she finds her clients;
  • And much more!
