Meet Natalie Franks, editor and creator of Clever Crow copyediting, who works with indie authors on developmental, copyediting and proofreading. We chat about the different aspects of the publishing industry, namely editing, how to become an editor, and what you should be looking for when thinking of hiring an editor's services for your manuscript.

Learn what it takes to become a professional editor, the challenges of being visible as a fresh face in an industry, the support of the indie community, and the ins and outs of life when following your passion.

Get to know Natalie better with our New2theScene presenter and hear about the publishing industry from an alternative perspective, what it's like to be invested in a novel and then hand it over, and the importance of creating relationships when working with authors.
