Episode: Susan Litman: An Editor’s Perspective on Story, Strategy, and Collaboration
Description: In this episode of The Write Frame of Mind, Adrienne Giordano welcomes a very special guest—Harlequin Intrigue senior editor Susan Litman. Susan also happens to be Adrienne’s editor, and together they turn the tables a bit by bringing an editor’s voice into the conversation.
Susan gives a behind-the-scenes peek at editing, collaboration, and the business of publishing. She shares her journey from film development to Harlequin, talks about balancing creative and administrative demands, and offers thoughtful advice for writers on revision, trust, and stepping away from a manuscript before submitting.
