Dear Writer Linderson Creations

On our author spotlight section this month we welcomed Jade du Preez. Jade is a lawyer and author based in Auckland, New Zealand. She won the New Zealand Writers College Short Story Competition in 2013 and the Same Same But Different Short Fiction Contest in 2016. She recently launched her debut novel, 'Outsider' - a story of art, identity, secret diaries and legal anomalies set in Japan and New Zealand.

This week we continue our discussion about editing. We talk about whether or not to pay for proofreading, how we do our developmental edits, and share our tips for editing better (and smarter).

This week in our author spotlight we were pleased to welcome AK Nevermore. AK is an author based in New York. She writes in a number of different genres, including Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and Paranormal Erotica. Outside of her writing life, AK is a Jane-of-all-trades. As a home-schooling stay-at-home mom, her primary job is looking after her kids. However, AK is also a certified chef, restores antiques and dabbles in beekeeping. Her resume includes belonging to the Authors Guild, being an RWA Chapter board member, and volunteering for numerous committees. AK’s goals are to write amazing books, and to inspire her kids and others that, just because you hear “no”, you don’t have to listen.

This week we discuss editing (I know it sounds boring but I promise it's not). We go through the three major types of editing, and give you a window into our process to help make it as painless as possible.

Also, apologies in advance for the mic issues!

This fortnight we welcomed Jennifer Safrey to the show. Jennifer is a romance author based in Massachusetts. Before her life as an author, Jennifer was a copy editor at the Boston Herald. While she reflects positively on the experience, she needed a way to decompress from hearing about many real-life, tragic stories, and turned to reading. After her work day had ended, she would often be found reading romance fiction until the early hours of the morning. Eventually, Jennifer began writing romance, hoping to provide readers with a blissful escape and a happy ending. Jennifer’s books feature smart, savvy, accomplished heroines, and heroes you love to love.

This week we celebrate the release of our NEW NOVEL The Price of Pandemonium! We give you some exclusive excerpts and introduce you to our cast of characters. We also treat you to a (hilarious) reading from our first draft of The Price of Pandemonium that was written when we were teenagers!
