Can You Be a Writer and an Editor-in-Chief?

An editor’s job could be viewed as a writer’s safety net — an opportunity to catch and correct mistakes before the general public views a writer’s work.

But what if an editor regards a section of text as a mistake and the writer regards that same section as an integral part of his work of art?

Right before Rainmaker.FM launched, Editor-in-Chief host Stefanie Flaxman got the chance to talk to her co-worker, Copyblogger Media’s Chief Content Writer Demian Farnworth, about the fragile nature of writer-editor relationships.

In this 65-minute episode of Editor-in-Chief, host Stefanie Flaxman and Demian Farnworth discuss:

• What bores Demian


• A branding lesson Demian learned when he created his website The Copybot


• How to incorporate your interests into a content strategy


• Why Demian is also an Editor-in-Chief


• Why Demian needs to know other factors before he decides which dress to wear to the ball


• The difference between an amateur and professional writer


• The difference between an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur


• Why it’s important to assume an Editor-in-Chief mindset even if you’re a full-time employee and not self-employed yet


• How to develop a healthy writer-editor relationship


• Why editing is an art


• Stefanie’s goals as an editor


• What editors dream about
