Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

On today’s episode of the Write.Publish.Market. podcast, Jodi is talking all about editorial feedback. If you’re not quite sure what that is, it is the feedback that comes with your manuscript after the editor is finished working on it. As an author and an editor herself, Jodi doesn’t want you to be scared or intimidated.

The editorial letter is going to give you more of the big-picture feedback. So it's not the nitty-gritty, line-by-line feedback that typically means more work for you. It's the big picture overall feedback: structurally where the book is. Hopefully, your editor has talked to you about your goals for the book, and their job, then, is to make sure that you're addressing that goal.

Before you dive into this episode, keep in the back of your mind the collaborative nature of the editor-author relationship, especially as you are working through all of that feedback.
