Navigating The Editorial Relationship with Editor Angela James Copy

We may write the stories, but we’re often too close to them to edit them properly.

That’s where an editor comes in.

We might be working with a publisher who gives us an editor, or we might be an indie author who hires their own freelance editor to help finesse the story, catch errors, & take it to the next level.

But author-editor relationships are unique.  They’re both business-like and highly intimate. How do you navigate such a layered relationship?

Angela James is here to talk to us about exactly that.
