I hired Brandon Sanderson & Dan Well's editor for my book / Reedsy freelance developmental editor

The past few months, I've been working with a freelance developmental editor on Reedsy. And she just so happens to have edited Brandon Sanderson's book, Mistborn, numerous Dan Wells novels, and many, many more.

I've never worked with an editor before - developmental or otherwise - and had no idea what to expect (or if it was even worth it) so in this video, I am going into MEGA detail of every step of the process. Use the timestamps to jump to the bits that interest you!

I'm Nicole Wilbur and I'm a writer and "story nerd", which basically means I love analyzing books, movies, and shows to death. I make videos about becoming a better writer, writing goals, and diving deep into why my favourite stories *worked*. If this sounds good to you, hit the subscribe button! :)
