Between the Edits: Interview with McKenzie Melody
Welcome back to Between the Edits! In this week's episode, I sat down with McKenzie Melody - a marketing professional, bookstagrammer, and pre-published author. We discuss her journey into writing, how creative writing and marketing are more similar than one might realize, and how storytelling unites us as humans! I also spend a good amount of time picking McKenzie's brain about folklore and mythology, which is a topic McKenzie is well-versed in and very enthusiastic about! This conversation has a wide-range of topics that may appeal to you, and I'm excited for you to hear it!

In this week’s episode, I sat down with independent author, illustrator, and map designer, Adam Bassett. He is the author of a collection of sci-fi short stories, a full length novel, and (as of today!) a resource book for authors looking to learn about setting design! We enjoy an in-depth discussion of his full-length novel, Copper Skin, Oaken Lungs, and I get the opportunity to pick his brain about how important setting design is to a novel, the biggest level-up an author can pursue for their setting, and how to approach map drawing! There’s so much to explore in this episode, and I hope you enjoy it. Today marks the release date for his book An Author’s Guide to Setting Design: Worldbuilding & Cartography.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with someone you might recognize if you’re active in the Substack sphere — Thomas Salerno!

We also dip our toes into some theological topics as well as how Thomas wanted more resources as a young, curious child, to show how reason and faith go hand-in-hand.

Between the Edits: Interview with Tea and Tales Writer's Podcast
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by the lovely ladies from the Tea and Tales Writer’s Podcast: Sara Sampson and Madlené Nel. After they met in an international writer’s group, the two writers realized they could spend hours talking about the craft of writing and the lessons they learned about publishing. When another member of the group suggested they would be perfect for a podcast, the two couldn’t help but agree. Now, they’re over four seasons in and thriving! While these ladies have a wealth of knowledge on so many important topics, I wanted to learn more about their personal experiences with starting the podcast, growing the podcast, and how the journey has impacted their writing along the way.

Welcome to the debut episode of Between the Edits, Season 2! This podcast is designed to talk with anyone and everyone about anything and everything books, and I have so many exciting interviews and discussions to come. Book editor Shannon Winton of Tomeworks Edits joins me for this excellent open to the brand new season. We discuss developmental editing and how it differs from beta reader feedback and other types of editing, how she stumbled her way into her editing career, and some of the best tools she’s seen support authors as they learn how to develop their writing craft!

Why? Because she knows about what I call my Legacy Bookshelf. Over the years, due to space and weight limitations, I’ve had to be very judicious about what books I can keep. Therefore, I had to start thinking deeply about every book I read to determine if it meant enough to me to keep. That is when I developed my Legacy Bookshelf, which is a special shelf in my bookcase devoted to only those books that I love so much that I plan to pass them on to my children one day. Knowing this, my friend bought me a custom book embosser to stamp the title pages of each legacy book, creating a one-of-a-kind collection that my family will cherish for decades.

Because she knows about what I call my Legacy Bookshelf. Over the years, due to space and weight limitations, I’ve had to be very judicious about what books I can keep. Therefore, I had to start thinking deeply about every book I read to determine if they meant enough to me to keep. That is when I developed my Legacy Bookshelf, which is a special shelf in my bookcase devoted to only those books that I love so much that I plan to pass them on to my children one day. Knowing this, my friend bought me a custom book embosser to stamp the title pages of each legacy book, creating a one-of-a-kind collection that my family will cherish for decades.
