We're back! Biblio-Files is now an audio podcast. Our first episode is with Lynette Smith, copy-editor extraordinaire. Feel free to like, comment and share with other authors.

One of the first things you learn in your author journey is that there is no such thing as a perfect first draft. This can be both comforting and daunting. Comforting, because you can just enjoy telling your story and take off your editor hat until the book is finished. Daunting because once you typ...

This delightful interview with children's book author, Dr. Joe McIntire, his illustrator, Aubrey Morgan Foster and the designer and promoter, Tracy Foster Pyke, is all about collaboration.
No author ever gets a successful book published without the help of editors, cover designers, proofreaders and so many more. This is a great example of how authors work with others to make their book a success.
Dr. Joe's book, Mr. Umgawa's Pumpkin Tree, is available on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Umgawas-Pumpkin-Tree-Joseph-McIntire-ebook/dp/B089ZM5647/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21OF980H05AWH&dchild=1&keywords=mr.+umgawa%27s+pumpkin+tree&qid=1602529261&sprefix=mr.+um%2Caps%2C253&sr=8-1

Join me in a delightful chat with Elizabeth Hill, author of "Killing the Girl" a murder mystery. We talked about the author journey and the surprises that come with the writing life.

In this second interview with Lynette M. Smith we continue to explore the process of what happens after a writer finishes their first draft from the point of view of a professional copy editor.
Lynette has so much to teach on this very important point and I learned a lot about the entire process that I didn't understand. Hopefully I'm not the only self published author who will learn some important points about making a better finished product. Thank you Lynette for being such a great guest.
You can find more about Lynette on her website: http://allmybest.com and get a free book that expounds on some of the things we learned during this interview.

So happy to publish this episode, the first of two parts, with copy editor and author, Lynette M. Smith. It is so important that the final product, your published book, be as high quality as is possible, to keep your readers from being distracted from your content by errors and mistakes. Lynette is in the business of making that happen.

She edits fiction and non-fiction and, with 30 years of experience she has a lot to share. Part 1 is about copy editing. The upcoming video, part 2, will cover formatting and proof-reading. You don't want to miss it, if the quality of your books is important to you.

Wendy H. Jones is our guest for today's episode of Biblio Info. She is a crime and mystery storyteller along with a publication advertising and marketing coach.

We had a lot to talk about that we determined to split both subjects right into two separate episodes. In this episode we discuss the largest problem writers have beyond really composing their publications.

We discussed the process of what comes after the final draft of guide prepares and how she has actually promoted her successful several book series.

She has some great tips for each author as well as we are glad to learn from her.
