Blaine Bradshaw on Editing a Superior Story — The Writing Coach 083

November 4, 2018

**Welcome to The Writing Coach. On this podcast, I speak with the instructors, editors, coaches, and mentors who help writers and authors create their art, build their audience, and sell their work.**

In episode #83 of The Writing Coach podcast, I speak with Blaine Bradshaw.

Blaine is a freelance editor with 10 years experience that started in the Army. While initially his scope was limited to geographic reports and briefings he expanded to novels and opened Superior Story in 2014. Over the years he has worked with dozens of writers to develop compelling stories while maintaining their unique voice.

During our discussion, Blaine describes:

Why a single typo led to him having to do 1000 push-ups
How he stumbled upon a vibrant writing community on the Deviant Art platform
Why his experience with a factory-style editing service ultimately led to his personalized approach to working with writers
The complexity involved in defining different types of editing
The role empathy plays in the editing process
And much more!
