What It's About
An update from a freelance editor who specializes in romance novels.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1657
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the founder of IG Works, which specializes in indoor gardening kits that allow you to grow dozens of large plants in a small space. It’s truly un-be-leaf-able! Before that, we had a sex-positive blogger … which in some ways connects to today’s update. Today in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Jessica Snyder. She’s a freelance romance novel editor. We first featured her more than 800 days ago—and as you’ll hear in her update, she is now working full-time! What else has happened, and what is the world of editing romance like? If you wanted to do it—I’m taking notes right now—now you’ll have some action steps. What’s happened since? Listen to today's episode to hear Jessica's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
