Podcasting, editor appreciation

Freya's Bower started Podcasting a few weeks ago. Wild Child Publishing now has a Podcasting page as well.

I'm intrigued by this Podcasting thing. It's another way to promote, but it's more planned (beforehand at least) and you get to hear the author speaking. There's something warmer about that than loop chats and live chats on a Java window.


Some specifics for the Wild Child Podcast (I'm being lazy, doing the cut and past thing):

Join Marci Baun for our inaugural podcast where she interviews Jack Maeby, author of The Thorazine Mirrorball. To listen, just click on the link.

And now for editor appreciation. I'm going to talk about myself for the remaining blog post. Yes, indeed.

I am.

Actually, I woke up this morning and found an email from fellow author/editor M.E. Ellis. She left a link to a blog post written by author Debbie Mumford.

Linkie time:

Ok, I got to say this. Debbie has some kind of empathy tracking radar, because I needed that. I really did.

Won't get into details, but Debbie rescued me this morning. She's a gem. And ain't it funny, but I said that to another editor just the night previous, before I'd read this blog post.

Definitely, she's got an empathy tracking radar.

Thank you, Debbie!

Debbie is right on.
Good editors like you and Michelle are gold.
I do not understand writers who think their works are "My preciousss."

Thank you, Bernita. :-)

Debbie was the first author I worked with on a Freya's Bower sub. Despite my inexperience on how to go about editing, Debbie grasped the fact that I cared about her story. It made a world of difference to how I turned out. I learn from every author. Debbie was very gentle on me. :-)
