Description

Hey there! Roseanna M White here, author and seasoned navigator of the publishing world. I want to introduce you to my class “Editor’s Pet.” This course, geared towards budding writers, gives you an in-depth understanding of how to build a productive, respectful, and mutually beneficial relationship with your editor.

In “Editor’s Pet,” we talk about loving the editing process, responding to editorial feedback, managing your emotions, and interacting professionally with your editor. It’s an insider’s look into the publishing industry with practical advice on how to enhance your writing through editing and maintain a positive reputation. Remember, an editor isn’t just a correction machine; they’re your ally in creating the best version of your story. Learning how to work with them effectively is a crucial skill in your writing journey.

Not sure if “Editor’s Pet” is right for you? I hear you. We writers are passionate creatures. We put our hearts into our work, and it can be daunting to allow someone else to dissect it, to change it. But that’s where this class can help you. It’s tailored to address your concerns and questions about the editing process and provides ways to overcome any difficulties you may encounter.

Perhaps you’re wondering, “What if I disagree with the editor’s suggestions?” Well, in this class, we discuss maintaining open communication, taking time to process feedback before responding, and the importance of having a trusted friend to bounce off ideas.

Or maybe you’re worried, “How do I handle my frustration or disappointment with the editing process?” That’s a very valid concern. In “Editor’s Pet,” I provide techniques to keep your emotions in check and avoid public venting. We talk about the importance of maintaining a professional demeanor and how it can affect your reputation in the industry.

We also address your concerns about feeling overwhelmed by the editing process. You’ll learn strategies to break down editorial feedback into manageable tasks, from keeping notes on their notes to establishing your own way of managing edits—whether you prefer tackling small things first or taking on the big changes upfront.

But “Editor’s Pet” is not just about managing problems; it’s about making the most out of the editing process and building a strong relationship with your editor. We talk about being proactive in understanding your editor’s needs, getting to know them personally, acknowledging their hard work, and being considerate of their schedules.

Ultimately, this class is designed to transform the potentially intimidating editing process into an enriching and enjoyable journey. It’s about growing as a writer and creating a story that you’re proud of. It’s about understanding that editing is not about tearing your work apart, but about refining it into something that truly shines. If you’re a beginner writer looking to master the editing process and form a solid working relationship with your editor, “Editor’s Pet” is the class for you. Remember, we’re all in this together—to create something that reaches out and touches people.

So come along, join the class, and let’s turn you into an editor’s pet!
