Hot Topics in Writing: Editors and Editing May 7, 2011

The first episode of the second season of Hot Topics in Writing,the UCWbL’s podcast, is finally available below for your streaming-audio pleasure!

In this thirty minute show, writing fellow Maureen Clancy and writing tutor Joe Olivier introduce themselves and speak with writers who (among other things) currently work as editors. You’ll hear from Monica Westin and how her work as an editor, graduate student and writing instructor informs her perspective on writing and deadlines.  Also, Leah Huffman, a recent graduate from DePaul’s Master of Arts in English program, reflects on her work as an editor at Quintessenz Publishing‘s Chicago-area office. Even if you’re career ambitions are not related to the field of editing, revising your work is an essential component to any successful writing project, so be sure to tune in!
