Write, Publish, and Shine

Rachel Thompson

Hello and welcome, luminous writers. I'm Rachel Thompson. I'm an author, a literary magazine editor, and an online writing instructor. And this is Write, Publish, and Shine, a podcast for emerging writers who want to publish and shine. In this season of Write, Publish, and Shine, we'll talk about how to keep making art when the world needs our resistance, when your energy is stretched and when you still feel called to the page. You'll hear interviews with writers and editors about sustaining a practice, craft-focused episodes on tension, revision, voice, and structure, and personal reflections on the realities of writing and creating with care. Every episode offers one or two practical moves you can try. I hope when you listen, you’re reminded that you're not alone in the work of being a luminous writer, i.e. a writer who's attentive to seasons, to the world, and to developing both craft and resilience.

    Revising With Love

    Dive deep into the art of revision as I share why revising is where the real magic of writing happens and how to approach it with love and enthusiasm. The episode includes practical strategies from my Revision Love Workbook. Listen for tips and exercises to help you fall in love with the revision process and hone your writing for publication. The Revision Love Workbook is a practical guide offering over 100 pages of strategies, exercises, and advice to help writers revise their work with clarity and confidence. It covers essential elements like structure, character development, pacing, and crafting impactful endings, all designed to help writers see their work with fresh eyes and strengthen their narratives.
