The internship with YourBookTeam has been going well. I'm working with a team of editors on a guidebook about how to edit books! That's perfect: I get to practice editing while reading about editing and learning from other editors! I'm shooting for a remote editing job to support my writing, so this is exactly the kind of experience I need on my resume.
The guidebook was drafted by the owner of the company, who has deeply studied writing, acting, and painting. We have short weekly meetings with him to ask questions and address concerns as we make the manuscript as useful and entertaining as possible. I’ve never worked so directly on another author’s manuscript, so I'm developing new skills for effective collaboration.
It’s nice to have the internship over summer break. It gives me an outlet to advance my collaboration skills while leaving me plenty of time to invest in my writing. Heart of Ice is over eighty-five thousand words now! The climax is within reach! Take a sneak peek at the novel here >>
