Description

Host Nadia Gilkes walks through her step-by-step editing process—from resting the draft and reading it like a novel, to big-picture revisions (story, characters, pacing), then line edits and formatting. She explains using beta readers, text-to-speech, writing groups, or hired editors to catch what you miss.

Practical tips include printing and redlining, selecting thoughtful beta readers, vetting editors, and setting deadlines; the episode encourages writers to polish their work, trust their editing choices, and release their book into the world.
