This week on the podcast, Rachel & Lynne are chatting with former journalist, now educator, writer and editor, Dan Kaufman, about something they all feel passionately about - the craft of writing and editing.

We have a lot of feelings about this topic, as we chat about the essential skills freelance writers need, including:

the importance of mastering the basics of writing
the declining emphasis on subediting and what it means for journalism
the need for critical thinking, attention to detail, and self-editing
the use of AI in writing and why Dan hates it!
