Where art meets commerce: the role of the editor. Sylvia Leatham reflects on lessons learned over the two-and-a-half-year process of editing her debut novel for a commercial market. My debut novel, Chaos Theory, was released in September 2025 with digital-first publisher Storm Publishing. A quirky romantic comedy with a speculative fiction twist, the book follows the adventures – in life and love – of Irish tourism executive Maeve McGettigan, as she navigates the chaos created by a new workplace robot called Kobi.

Early drafts of THE DAMNED featured quite a few references to the Yule Lads (the film *is* set at Christmas, after all) but they got cut out in the natural course of development.
Anyway, here’s a pic from when I was trying to do revisions in a cafe in Isafjördur and this guy sat down beside me.

These two stories are somehow connected. Apparently, if you lobby tirelessly for more pollution & ecological wreckage, that’s exactly what you get.

This, alas, is 💯
It always ends up being a war between those on safe, full time salaries for whom doing nothing is the safest options and freelancers or producers with bank loans, staff costs and fewer long-term productions paying the way for whom speedy decisions are a must.

Also, writers now have to have multiple projects in development at the same time in the hopes that *something* will see the light of day

When you try to explain why scripted development can take so long, it's almost embarrassing to have to tell people that it does not boil down to some very specific, rigorous process, but rather that it might take you 5 days to write a draft, and seventeen weeks to get each set of notes back on it.
