Never doubt the power of your words!

I chat with authors Richard McColl (@londomomposino.bsky.social ) and Barry Max Wills about their books, editing, and culture. If you have an interest in Colombia or what it feels like to live in a new country as you adapt, I highly recommend reading both books.

Writing is tough, no matter the genre—but some come with unique challenges! Epic fantasy & sci-fi? Vast worlds, complex characters. Historical fiction? Accuracy + immersion.

It’s easy to feel guilty for stepping away from your routine, but beating yourself up for taking a break only adds stress. Enjoy your time off, rest up, and come back to your writing refreshed and ready to tackle your WIP!

Enjoying some relaxing family time in Cancún, Mexico. Time away from the manuscripts is as important for us editors as it is for authors, sometimes 😉
