Description
Why group coaching might be the perfect way to get feedback on your writing.When I was first getting started, I pictured editing like this:A writer writes a manuscript and sends it to their editor. The editor writes feedback and sends it back. The writer takes that feedback and uses it to edit their manuscript.That’s the classic form of editing. But it’s far from the only form of editing.Editing doesn’t even have to be one-on-one. In fact, sometimes group coaching can be exactly what you need!In this episode, I’m breaking down the pros and cons of group coaching for writers.You’ll learn:How group coaching combines the best features of critique groups + one-on-one editingWhat you CAN’T learn one-on-one (but you can learn in a group!)One group coaching caveat to watch out forAnd more!Group coaching isn’t better than one-on-one editing, or vice versa. It’s just different—a different experience that can meet different needs in your writing in a different way.In fact, you might decide to try both group and one-on-one editing at different points in your writing career. So it’s great to know what your options are!Links mentioned in the episode:Join the Scene Mastery Workshop waitlist: alicesudlow.com/workshopSupport the showWant more editing tips and resources?
