#147. A Week in the Life: 7 Days Behind the Scenes with Savannah (June 2024)

Fiction Writing Made Easy

Want a peek behind the scenes into my work week? 👀
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes and sharing what I do as a developmental editor and book coach.

I’ll talk through the projects I’m working on, what I’m excited (or not excited) about, what’s coming up in the next few weeks, what I learn from the writers I work with, and basically anything else that happens during the week!
Tune into the episode to hear me talk about things like:

• [05:07] A behind-the-scenes look at the making of this podcast—how (and why) I batch script and record multiple episodes at a time
• [09::07] What it was like to work through the copy edits on my new book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: A Story Grid Masterwork Analysis Guide
• [13:15] How I manage my energy and mental health when I have a week full of live videos that require lots of extroverting (and why this is so important)
• [18:10] A preview of some of the marketing plans for my upcoming book release in July (including how I’m thinking about my ARC Team & Street Team)
• [27:55] Some client wins, including a book cover reveal, a revise and resubmit (R&R) request, and how one writer is stuck choosing between two agents

Thanks for coming on this journey with me, and I hope you enjoy this peek behind the scenes! See you next week!
