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!
