Show Notes
Editor Emad Akhtar has worked with authors like Michael Connelly, Ian Rankin and Justin Cronin and was kind enough to join our live show and answer our listeners' questions!
In this episode you will discover…
- Common pacing issues with first drafts
- Why your most difficult scenes might be a reward for readers
- Why editors can be like movie producers, and what questions you should be asking editors
- Why you shouldn't just slavishly follow an editor's notes
- And why you should consider supply and demand with exposition
