541: My Book Editor Spills Industry Secrets for a Winning Proposal

When I finally surrendered to the idea of writing a book, the learning started immediately. Drafts and edits and manuscripts and agents and publishers and editors… All of these new tasks for me and it led me to work with an entirely new team of people who are helping me learn the industry and make my first book a book you can’t wait to read.
Carrie Thornton has been in the world of publishing for 25 years. She’s helped books come to life and worked with authors you might recognize from Gabrielle Union to Jessica Simpson to Amy Poehler and more. Now, she’s working with me and truthfully, I am the luckiest. Carrie and I are chatting through the role of an editor, why her editing process is different, why she wanted to edit my book, and what you need to consider if you want to pitch a book yourself.
