It’s another week and another episode of the Self-Publishing Roundtable. The weekly show that brings you the biggest guests in self-publishing and brings their success stories to you to adapt to your own business.
This week we have Harry Dewulf who is a content editor (or developmental editor). Harry has a lot of experience and has done some wonderful things for people with their books. Including our friend and recent guest co-host, Darren Wearmouth.
Harry and I discussed what he could bring to you, our audience. Harry said his first time clients often don’t know what to expect when they hire a content editor. He will answer any questions that you have about what content editors can and can’t do for you in improving your book. He’ll also be talking about literary technique, and when to bend some writing rules, and when you might be able to break them.
Check him out on his site and blog – www.densewords.com
I’ll aim to have the audio download and iTunes options up within an hour of the show finishing like last week.
We hope to see you live on the day, but please consider taking the time to leave us a review on iTunes and/or subscribe to our YouTube channel, and give our videos a thumbs up. It helps other indie authors find us.
Hope the comments work better this week.
I’m here Patrick so they must work.
So everyone’s here then. 🙂
PatrickStemp We’ve all been waiting for you, Patrick.
Where’s my invite?
Can’t start without Buddy G though right?
PatrickStemp That’s what he would have you believe.
writerwade Sent to you twice now.
Evening all.
Hey Darren
Darren Wearmouth Hey Darren!
Darren Wearmouth Hello
Morning all!
Tonight, we are talking to Darren Wearmouth’s editor. I really, really hope that he will give us some behind the scenes gossip and dirt while we do the show.
Are we best watching here or on G+ tonight?
PatrickStemp So far it seems like this place is working.
Great time for me tonight. Only 1am here in Blighty.
jlward Darren Wearmouth There’s endless streams of dirt on me.
jlward PatrickStemp Here for now.
Darren Wearmouth jlward Most of it true.
Carl Sinclair Darren Wearmouth jlward Thankfully dogging is probably unknown outside the UK 😉
Refresh now the video should show up…
We started already… oops…
Carl Sinclair Class act, there Sinclair.
nicholaskahler Carl Sinclair They’ll just have to repeat the first 5 minutes.
nicholaskahler Carl Sinclair Nobody told me you people had daylight savings. John never sent me the link. Blame the USA and John Ward.
Is it showing up now?
Carl Sinclair It’s all good here
How much will Dave love Harry’s accent?
Carl Sinclair nicholaskahler Ward is the perfect human specimen. I can find no fault in his methods.
writerwade So much. Probably why he can’t be on… too worried what he might do.
Carl Sinclair writerwade Very nice, makes me feel like an urchin.
Darren Wearmouth Carl Sinclair writerwade Listening to his voice makes me feel like no matter what, I’m wrong and he’s right.
Howdy Everyone
Just take my money Mr. Dewulf.
nicholaskahler Take all my money too.
Yes, I’m mesmerized
writerwade I’ve just deleted everything I ever wrote. I’m just going to start over with Harry watching.
If you have questions for Harry – please leave them here and we will get to them for you.
Hello everyone. My first live podcast with you fine people. Harry’s doing a content edit with me right now so I thought I’d jump in on this one.
Matt Ryan That’s great, Ryan. Thanks for joining us. I’m glad you’re here.
Matt Ryan Welcome Matt!
Carl Sinclair Something I’ve never asked. Does he get excited when he receives a book in a certain genre. Also, is there anything he won’t edit on principle.
jlward Matt Ryan We call people by their surnames now?
Hi Matt
Hey David
Hi everyone!
writerwade Hi Wade
Stacy Claflin Hey Stacy Claflin! Great to see you in the comments here.
Stacy Claflin Hi Stacy. I like the interview you did with Cherise Kelly
Harry is a great teacher. I can vouch for that.
Hey Stacy
Stacy Claflin Hi Stacy
Do you think Harry has a bit of a John Lennon post-Beatles look about him tonight?
Darren Wearmouth He does.
When you look up the definition of Content Editing, there is a Dewulf meme that plays for 3 hours before the entire internet collapses under the weight of all the awesome.
I’m pretty sure Harry is so awesome, he could edit your book AND beat up Chuck Norris at the same time.
Carl Sinclair Why only a content editor? Many editors are a combination of line/copy along with content.
nicholaskahler I’m writing to Collins right now to have the definition changed. To Dewulf is to be more awesome than anything ever.
Good evening, all. Canada sends it’s warmest regards, which are slightly chilly.
Carl Sinclair That’s tempting fate. When the comment thread dies in a minute it’s probably because Chuck heard you and shut us down.
This man can invade your mind through your voice.
PatrickStemp Carl Sinclair We have Dewulf
xgranville All right chief?
Where’s the double like?
nicholaskahler He counted to infinity, twice.
.. and then manage your expectations. Like a boss.
Darren Wearmouth xgranville Just dandy! Also if you really wanted to prove you’re British you’d say “Alright, yeah?”
xgranville Darren Wearmouth Harry would slap me for using it!
Has Harry said what kind of guitar in the background? I may be the only interested party.
Darren Wearmouth xgranville Sneak it in there. Like a pig in a poke.
xgranville Darren Wearmouth Alright 🙂
Darren Wearmouth xgranville Just calm down mate, just calm down (In a scouser accent)
Darren Wearmouth xgranville You know who did the best English accent? Dick Van Dyke. “Ewwo Mawy Poppins!”
xgranville And does he piss his neighbours off with it when he plays it badly?
Darren Wearmouth xgranville True. I get away with it, but my roommate the drummer isn’t as lucky.
xgranville Darren Wearmouth Russell Crowe in Robin Hood. Brilliantly shite.
Darren Wearmouth xgranville Agreed. Best heard on Bluray.
Mr. Dewulf was the inspiration for Harry Potter. True story.
nicholaskahler He is what happened to Harry after the last book. Confirmed.
Carl Sinclair nicholaskahler I knew he was a born Seeker.
Carl Sinclair nicholaskahler How come the interview wasn’t conducted in Parseltongue?
Harry, I’m hungry like Dewulf for your editing services.
xgranville Carl Sinclair nicholaskahler It is in Parseltongue! You’re a Slytherin wretch!
RemarkableReads Wow. Just… wow.
nicholaskahler xgranvilleCarl Sinclair You weren’t aware that Canada’s house is Slytherin? We’re twisted like that.
nicholaskahler RemarkableReads Duran Duran for the win.
nicholaskahler RemarkableReads Come on Nic, be honest. You missed me buddy.
RemarkableReads nicholaskahler I need the Dewulf Experience on all my words. Now.
Question: Why is he dangling weights off that poor panda’s legs? 🙁
Is it too late to point out that Carl Sinclair is incredibly humble for the most awesome dude ever?
Darren Wearmouth I believe it is another guitar stand. I used to have a similar one, but it wasn’t so panda-riffic.
RemarkableReads You forget the insult for that compliment sandwich.
RemarkableReads It’s never too late.
Darren Wearmouth Oh no, its more interesting than I gave credit for.
I do believe that toy comes from Asgard… which makes Harry the content editor for Thor.
Dewulf for President 2015.
Darren Wearmouth The Welsh make good stuff, don’t they?
HELLLLOOOOOOOOOOO
JayChastain Chastain…
Carl Sinclair JayChastain Sinclair….
JayChastain Carl Sinclair Your soul shall suffer!
xgranville Darren Wearmouth They do indeed.
Carl Sinclair JayChastain Kinky
Canadians aren’t so lucky. Noone hears a Canadian accent and someone is like “WOW! You must be educated!”
Vote now to double the length of the episode and have twice as much Dewulf.
xgranville Eh?
nicholaskahler Can we get Dewulf in an IV? Inject his awesomeness right to the bloodstream.
Matt Ryan xgranville Take off, hoser.
JayChastain Carl Sinclair Am I the only one thinking Mortal Kombat?
xgranville Matt Ryan I’m not your buddy, pal.
Carl Sinclair xgranvilleMatt Ryan Silence! You speaketh to the Earl of Winnipeg.
Been here for 5 minutes. I already love Harry.
JayChastain He is the Chosen One.
