"The story is the horse, and the writer is the rider of the horse, and you as the editor, need to help guide them along. And if the rider starts to fall off, you put them back on, and it's your job to lead them safely into the barn. At no point should you shove the rider off the horse, get on yourself and ride it into the distance," says Amanda Heckert, executive editor of Garden & Gun.
Amanda Heckert is something of a wunderkind and an absolute boss of an editor.
In this episode we talk about:
- How she tells her writers to let it rip (within reason)
- How she found empathy for the writer side of the table, and how writers can better understand the POV of the editor side
- Writing a great pitch
- How a story is a horse the writer is the rider
- And the arc of her career that brought her back to her native South Carolina
You can learn more about Amanda at gardenandgun.com and follow her on IG @amandaheckert.
This episodes opens with an audio excerpt of The Front Runner, read by Roger Wayne.
