How does being an editor make you a better author? w/ Kandi Zeller | A People's Guide to Publishing
Description
Being a book editor and an author can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have unique insight into how a book is developed before you even get started. On the other hand, you can end up getting in your own way trying to make it "perfect". And if you're an editor for the publisher of your own book, how do you balance that? We sat down with Disabled Witchcraft author (and Microcosm editor!) Kandi Zeller to talk writing, disability, witchcraft, cookies, and Bettie's Pages.
