Italian Wine Podcast Ep. 924 Felicity Carter | Uncorked
Welcome to episode 924 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Felicity Carter.
A respected journalist, editor, and all-around answer-seeker, Felicity chats with me today about the ins and outs of publishing, why the editing process is crucial to proper journalism, and how wineries can use tried and tested writing techniques to improve following, loyalty, and sales. From feedback to Frietag, we’re talking good stories and good writing. Let’s get into it.
