Ink in Your Veins 409 | What Kind of Editing is ACTUALLY Essential?
Editor Damien Pitter blows Rachael’s MIND in this episode when he talks about the only way structure feels to a reader. She’s still reeling. Also on tap: what kind of editing is essential vs. skippable? And how the heck do you figure out when to hire an editor?
After teaching students to understand and write stories for more than twenty years as an international educator and counselor, Damien Pitter now has a small business editing and coaching adult writers to help them find and tell their stories. Educated in Canada, Damien studied Film, Theater and Education, and then earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia. As the child of Jamaican and Chinese-Jamaican immigrants, his interest in different stories led him to live and work in six countries on four continents, while his work as a counselor taught him the power that story has to shape our reality. He lives with his partner, novelist Monna McDiarmid, in Yokohama, Japan, and on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. You can learn more about working with him at www.damienpitter.com.
