Mandy Eve-Barnett's Blog for Readers & Writers

I certainly had fun with this #interview with ThreeSixtyAlberta talking about my writing life, books, publisher and writing group.

Did I answer a question for you or was there something else you wanted to know?

I’m more than happy to answer questions – so go ahead – ask!

I also have another interview this Wednesday, when I will be talking about my writing group, the Writers Foundation of Strathcona County in depth. It will be hosted by Arts Talk at our local community cafe, Common Ground.

This will be my third interview this year! If nothing else I’m getting a lot of practice!

UPDATE:

I managed to edit 65 pages of my current work in progress, The Commodore’s Gift, this past weekend and feel really fired up about the story and it’s characters. There is a strong female protagonist, who meets an Adonis of a man.

I also have a novel workshop group starting this month, where we will edit each other’s work over the next several months. This gives each participant several ‘reader’ views of the story, which is invaluable as well as suggestions or queries on continuity, plot arc etc. This is how a writer ‘polishes’ their work prior to publication.

Do you have a question about the editing process?
