091 - Mia Kleve, Toss a Coin to Your Editor, Pt 1 [Worlds Asunder]

This week we’re excited to give listeners a new spin on world building, building bibles, and keeping your stories straight. Today’s guest is Mia Kleve, avid reader of science fiction, fantasy, and just about everything in between. Mia has been proofreading and editing for more than ten years and has experience with developmental edits, copy edits, world bibles, and more.

Join us in learning more about how your editors tick, what they can do for your writing process, and how you can help smooth the path for them before you submit your manuscript.

In Part One, We Discuss:

• Tools and tricks of the editing trade
• The difference between world bibles and style guides
• The Chicago Manual of Style
• Steps authors can do to help their editors
• Manuscript formatting
• Adjusting your writing and editing process to suit personal needs (habits and ergonomics)
• Watching for common grammar and punctuation errors or overused words

We can’t emphasize enough how important it is to work with a good editor. We’re grateful to Mia for lending us her expertise and digging into the technical side of world building and storycraft.
