Show Notes for Ep. 29 "Tentifying with Jed Hartman"
Jed Hartman joins Mary Anne and Ben again to talk editing. From acquisitions to developmental, they discuss the many complex levels of editing as well as the editorial cultures that can arise in a workplace. Also important to the conversation is how they engage with dialectic decisions, especially when it comes to swearing, and whether or not you should hire an editor.
