At one point I was writing and having published three books a year. My motto, to use an analogy, was The King is dead; long live the king.

"There’s also a book published with an educational publisher… now that was a trip!"

Is it possible to get into writing or editing for educational publishers without a specialized degree or teaching experience? Would a degree in publishing and freelancing experience be enough to be able to crack into it?

The whole experience was illuminating in myriad ways, Tara! I'll explain all in the post--thank you for your questions! Will do my best to cover these answers along with the whole! I'm not going to write about the books in chronological order, but as whatever comes. I'll keep this one in mind for one of the earlier posts! Stay tuned...

I am slow. So slow. I often end up with overlaps of stories, especially since I usually need to let a story marinate before I rewrite. I would be so interested to hear how you work and if it is different for each piece.
