  • The podcast every author needs

    Nicola’s advice on how to tailor your Insta content for your target audience is phenomenal. She has so many tips, ideas, advice, motivation and experience.

    All her workshops, newsletters and live sessions are delivered in a warm, witty, achievable way.

    I feel so inspired and motivated by her.

    I get so much from Nicola’s Too Much Social online membership, so to have a podcast too is fantastic.

    Thank you Nicola for yet another amazing resource.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S3 E3: Serving Books 📚 Putting your best book forward
Q: Can AI replace human editors?
AI can assist with checks, but it cannot replace the nuanced understanding of author voice, reader experience, and the creative judgment a human editor brings; human editors add essential nuance and empathy that AI currently cannot replicate.
S3 E3: Serving Books 📚 Putting your best book forward
Q: How should a writer choose an editor?
Look for someone who reads in your genre, has relevant experience, and fits your working style and relationship, ensuring a good personal fit and alignment with your publishing goals.
S3 E3: Serving Books 📚 Putting your best book forward
Q: When is the right time to invest in a developmental edit?
When the writer has completed a solid draft (or several revisions) and can't see the wood for the trees, making it worth getting an objective editor to identify gaps and suggest a path forward.
S3 E3: Serving Books 📚 Putting your best book forward
Q: What is a developmental edit and how might it strengthen a manuscript?
A developmental edit provides a big-picture assessment of the manuscript, focusing on structure, plot, characters, and writing style; it's an early-stage, guiding review that helps the writer reframe and strengthen the bones of the book before deep line edits.
