How do you take an okay first draft and turn it into a polished, compelling piece of content? That’s the magic of a talented editor and proofreader at work. This week, Abby sits down with Mia Vance, our very own in-house eagle-eyed editor, to talk about what brought her to our lovely little country, and how she got into editing and general word wizardry.
What we yapped about:
- The subtle—but important—differences between proofreading and editing.
- Mia’s top 3 self-editing tips if you don’t have an editor handy.
- How she finds her creative groove again when inspiration runs dry.
- Answers to rapid fire questions with some stellar book recommendations.
If you’ve thought about turning your sharp eye for typos into a fulfilling career, or you just want to meet our lovely editor, you won’t want to miss this episode!
