Over the past year or so I've had the pleasure of mentoring two independent publishers starting/levelling up their publishing operations! Most recently Nathaniel Spain - keep an eye out for Carnyx Press when it opens later this year for submissions!

Amy shares her candid reflections on the phenomenon of story-blindness—those narrative threads that make perfect sense to the author… but not to the reader.
She’s also included two versions of a pivotal scene, so you can see the transformation.
