The Modern Editor Podcast

with Tara Whitaker

Helpful Tips & Bold Perspectives

I started this podcast for the same reason I started my community, the Freelance Editors Club: to provide a space for freelance editors to get the education, support, and coaching they need to grow their editing businesses.

If you love learning, elevating writers’ voices, making connections in the industry, and lifting up your “competition” as you climb, you’re a modern editor and this podcast is for you.

Join me each week for… 

  • Solo episodes

  • Guest speakers

  • Insightful interviews

  • Too many Murder, She Wrote references

  • I find myself nodding along to nearly everything she says, and if I’m not agreeing with her, it’s because I’m thinking, “Huh, what a great idea! I’ll have to try that!”

    I love her supportive no-gatekeepers attitude and the fact that she gets straight to the point. She really values my time, and I value her insights. I wholeheartedly recommend adding this to your podcast lineup.

  • Love hearing Tara’s enthusiasm. Tara is a fresh and 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.

  • Full of compassionate common sense. I’m thoroughly enjoying Tara’s voice and wisdom in her podcast. Her ideas and information always give me something to think about, and she does it all with such a thoughtful and kind tone. I am encouraging all my editor friends to listen in. Thanks, Tara, for making your advice so accessible.

  • Modern editing has a new voice! When I found Tara’s podcast, I was reaching for any strand of hope for specific guidance for my freelance editing and proofreading work. I listened to the first four episodes in one serving.

    It was nice to hear a voice that shared what a new editor and a new business owner needed to hear.
