Your Next Draft

What It REALLY Means to Make Progress Editing Your Novel

Alice Sudlow Episode 61

Editing progress doesn’t always look like you’d expect. Here’s how to recognize it.

If your editing is going great, you’ll enjoy this episode. Honestly, though, if editing feels like the worst thing in the world right now, you’ll love this episode even more.

Here’s what’s in store: How do you know whether you’re really making progress editing your novel?

In the episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why editing progress does NOT look like what you might expect
  • What counts as editing progress
  • The two things that DON’T count as progress
  • And more!

If you’re feeling stuck, stagnant, or overwhelmed, don’t miss this episode.

I hope it gives you just the boost you need to start this year of writing and editing strong.

One more thing: This year, I’m moving Your Next Draft to a biweekly podcasting schedule. Rather than sharing a new episode every week, I’ll have a new episode every other week.

I’m making this shift to allow me to spend more time with my editing clients. You’ll still get to hear from me on the podcast! I’ll still be sharing the same actionable editing content designed to help you navigate your own novel editing process.

It’ll just be every other week rather than every week.

To hear more about this shift, check out the episode.
