Session 5 – breakout seminars (running concurrently). Please note this session is for two hours.
This session is best suited to intermediate and experienced fiction developmental editors.
The panel will introduce their different approaches to developmental fiction editing, talking about their client work and the strategies they’ve used for different projects. After a short break, the session leaders will host a discussion about how the changing publishing landscape is shaping developmental editing as a service, and whatever else the attendees would like to discuss – such as tricky issues, managing client expectations, and how genre shapes feedback.
Aimee Walker is a romance and women’s fiction editor from Northern Ireland. She is passionate about helping women self-publish and having romance respected as much as other genre fiction. Her background in education and therapeutic counselling resulted in a natural affinity to coaching authors, and she uses a very collaborative and coaching-based approach with the majority of her clients.
Aimee also enjoys mentoring other editors who want to add coaching to their repertoire and provides supervision to other writing coaches.
When she isn’t working Aimee can be found pottering in her garden with her menagerie of animals.
You can find her at www.awepress.com or on Instagram @aimeewalkereditorial.
