The team of writers, editors, and story coaches from One Brilliant Arc Media sit down with aspiring author Sunny (Sophie Gutschlag) for a live editing session of her first completed draft: a social science story called Future’s Choice. We discuss the unique challenges of writing in a second language with Aphantasia and ADHD, utopian/dystopian worldbuilding, dialogue that reveals deeper character, and how to know which scenes to cut and which scenes should stay. Pull back the curtain on what the first steps toward being a published author looks like while we call out strengths in this manuscript, options for improvement, and prove that editing your story to be the best it can be doesn’t have to be a scary process!
