Writers Circle

Vulnerable Editing with Rich Villodas

May 7, 2024

Welcome to episode #1, with author and pastor, Rich Villodas, the lead pastor of New Life Fellowship in Queens, New York. This one’s fun because Will Parker Anderson is Rich’s editor at Waterbrook, so they invite you behind-the-scenes to reveal the unique relationship between writer and editor—the good, the awkward, and everything in between.

They discuss the vulnerability and productivity of the editing process, as they worked together on Rich's forthcoming book, The Narrow Path.

Other highlights include: 

 

  • What is it like to pour so much energy and effort into a manuscript, to then receive it back from an editor, all marked up?

  • How do we prepare our hearts to receive feedback well?

  • Why is feedback essential to growth?

 

By the end of this episode, you’ll have way less fear about showing your work to others. And a renewed commitment to grow in your craft through the input of others.
