About this listen

This week, we tackle every writer's favorite task (narrator: no it's not): revisions. From massive rewrites to line editing minutiae, we discuss what to keep, what to fix, and what to destroy in a fire.


We also have some show news, as Rylan steps back to focus on her writing unless, you know, there was some kind of write-in campaign demanding her return. (ahem)


Thank you Rylan for all of your hard work!


In Hot Goss, we dive into PenguinGate (not that Penguin): the drama surrounding Paul and Matthew's children's book, pity marketing tactics, and why doxxing Ingram employees is never the answer.


Whether you're a revision lover like Kirk or a revision resister like Meagan, this episode covers everything you need to know about transforming your manuscript from "meh" to publishable.


Welcome to Bad Lit Friends. We're glad you're here, even if none of us know what we're doing.


Bad Lit Friends was created and is hosted by Meagan Thompson-Mann and Kirk Rafferty.

Show Notes:

Sorry for the less-than-stellar editing! Did I mention Rylan was our editor?
