    What Does a Developmental Editor Do?
    Jan 27 2026

    Do you really need a developmental editor? If you hire one, what should you expect from them?

    Author Nation 2025 Takeaways
    Jan 20 2026

    Author Nation 2025 was my 3rd time at an author conference, and this year I went looking for audio narration solutions (among other things).

    This episode covers my thoughts on the conference, favorite sessions, and whether it's worth it (especially for new authors).

    Will you be going to this year's con? If so, I'll see you in November!
