What listeners are saying about the podcast

"The first few episodes of Tara's podcast are so refreshing because she approaches the role of an editor NOT as a staunch grammarian, but as a partner in the author's journey. An outlet for this type of discussion around what it means to be an editor (and how to become one) is sorely needed in an industry where professionals are increasingly choosing to work independently. It's clear that Tara has a ton of knowledge and expertise to share, and I can't wait for future installments!"

Meg

"Tara's podcast comes just in time when so many publishing industry professionals and subject matter experts are discovering the freedom in freelancing. Can't wait to listen to more of Tara's episodes on demystifying the freelance editing business and leveraging the power of community."

Neva Otherwordy

"Really enjoyed Tara's fresh take on editing in a modern world. A must-listen for new business owners and veteran editors. I'll be tuning in every week!"

StacyCA

"Tara is a current breath of fresh air. So many editors can come off as stuck in their ways and, as a new presence in the editing world, I find Tara's attitude and voice reassuring. I'm looking forward to future episodes."

"I've loved the first three episodes of The Modern Editor! I am just starting out with my proofreading side hustle, and a lot of the thoughts and feelings Tara has referenced have been going through my mind constantly as I'm starting up. She is great at reminding me that I can DO THIS! And I look forward to some tips as she dives deeper into the podcast."
