The Collingwood Press

What was the objective behind your collaboration?After finishing my first draft, I wanted an editor to refine the manuscript and address the weaker areas without unnecessarily changing my writing style.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?I liked that the editing never felt excessive. The editor fixed several issues while still keeping the manuscript sounding like my own work. In a few places, they also explained the reasoning behind their suggestions, which helped me understand the changes instead of simply accepting them.

Are there any areas for improvements?Nothing particularly stood out as a problem for me. Communication was clear, the edits were handled professionally, and most importantly, the character of my original writing was preserved.

What was the objective behind your collaboration?I initially wanted support with promoting my book online and reaching more potential readers through different marketing channels.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?What I found most valuable was discovering opportunities I hadn’t originally considered. The team introduced me to possibilities like interviews and reaching different audiences, which made me look at book promotion in a much broader way. It felt like they were helping me understand where my book could actually find its audience rather than simply running an advertisement.

Are there any areas for improvements?The experience gave me a much wider perspective on promoting a book, and I was happy with the direction they provided. I don’t have any major areas for improvement based on my experience.

What was the objective behind your collaboration?I was hoping to use the podcast as a way to introduce my book and share the story behind it while reaching people who might genuinely connect with the ideas in it.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?Honestly, the interview itself turned out to be a lot more enjoyable than I expected. I was somewhat nervous beforehand because speaking about my work doesn’t come as naturally to me as writing, but the preparation made me feel much more comfortable. I also liked that the conversation focused on the book and the thoughts behind it rather than feeling like a sales pitch.

Are there any areas for improvements?I thought the experience was handled smoothly from beginning to end. The guidance before the interview was helpful, and I felt supported throughout, so I don’t have any major suggestions for improvement.
