Have you ever wondered what an editor actually does? Is it just all about red pens and correcting people? If you’d like to find out, you can listen to the newest episode of The Writing Life, a podcast by the National Centre for Writing. In this episode, one of our founders, Ella Micheler was interviewed by Simon Jones about all things to do with editing, translation and publishing.
If you’d like to learn more about the editing process, you can download the Editing Pack at the National Centre for Writing, full of advice from industry insiders: Pack 8 – Editing
The pack contains:
