Episode 278: Editing

#AmWriting

For that moment when you’ve hit the finish line—and now you’re going back to the beginning and starting all over again in a different hat.

In our new summer series, The Working Bookshelf, KJ and guest host Jennie Nash pull their favorite writing books off the shelf and debate: which is better and why—until invariably, they get distracted and just start talking about the topic at hand. Funny, fresh and full of frank advice, when KJ and Jennie get going they’re hard to stop.

This week, it’s Meander, Spiral, Explode: Design and Pattern in Narrative versus Blueprint for a Book.

In a new twist, you can also watch these episodes on YouTube. Find Episode 10 HERE.

And, for your looking-forward pleasure, here’s the whole series, dropping once weekly all through the summer of 2021.
