A Shoutout to Editors and Self-Care

Ted flies solo this month and shares a little about his own work in progress, the forthcoming rom-com Date Week, which will be published next summer by Lake Union.

Currently in the midst of the developmental editing process, he talks about what this stage in a book’s life is, the highs and lows of going through it, and the tremendous impact good editors have on the finished product that ends up in the hands of readers. He also covers the importance of self-care—like allowing yourself to record a solo pod when you’re doing a developmental edit and don’t have the mental bandwidth to schedule an interview.

Working Drafts episodes and info for requesting transcripts as well as more details about Ted and his books are available on his website, thetedfox.com.
