197. Copyediting and the Power of Word Choices: An Interview with Sara Brady




Smart Podcast, Trashy Books: Reviews, Interviews, and Discussion About All the Romance Novels You Love to Read show

Summary: Two episodes in a row with an abundance of Sara(h)s! Sara Brady is a copyeditor of many books, including many romances. Full disclosure: she copyedited my novella, Lighting the Flames. My entirely biased opinion: she does a terrific job. We discuss in depth what a copyeditor does, and how her job works. We make terrible copyediting jokes, and how the choices of context and language have large consequences. There’s also a discussion of words we hate, and books we love, including a recommendation from Sara that I think many of you will want to read. Bonus extra at the end after the outro music: gardening! Sarah nerds out about gardening.
