More details about the book:

Ever wanted to write a nonfiction reference book? Curious about how to organize and develop your topic into an inviting, easy-to-use manuscript? Look no further!

Packed with tips, this book will walk you through insights into planning, writing, editing, pre-publication, and marketing your reference book, from pre-writing to post-publication.

To sweeten the day even more, my box of copies arrived from my awesome publisher, Vine Leaves Press, and I got to hold my first printed copies of my May-releasing book, From Promising to Published: A Multi-Genre, Insiderโ€™s Guide to the Publication Process. Pre-order now open for this charming new addition to my book family.

A double delight, so I had to share. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ“š #authorlife

Insight into Developmental Editing, Part Two ๐Ÿ“โ˜•

As an editor, itโ€™s incredibly fulfilling to work with fellow writers as they sculpt their awesome novels and prepare for publication.

This year, Iโ€™ve had the complete joy to work with Ian Rogers of But I Also Have a Day Job and TRAM on his debut novel that drops in April 2022 (Vine Leaves Press). MFA Thesis Novel will leave you entertained, laughing, and thinking deeply about your own lifeโ€™s path long after youโ€™ve savored the final page.

Wonder what itโ€™s like to work with a developmental editor? Ponder no longer! Ian does a stellar job exploring what developmental editing entails, what itโ€™s like to communicate about your vision for your book with a developmental editor, and how authors and editors can bond over shared goals on behalf of making fabulous books.

Hereโ€™s the second (and latest) post about Ianโ€™s developmental editing experience: ta-da! Be sure to check out his first post about developmental editing from June .

Also, make sure to check back on Ianโ€™s site for wonderful reflections and interviews with working writers and at Vine Leaves Press to reserve and order your copy of MFA Thesis Novel in early 2022 as well as to peruse and purchase the many amazing Vine Leaves selections available.

Hereโ€™s to writers making it happen and bringing meaningful literature into the world! ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŒŸ
