The Space Between Drafts: Redefining “Edit” (with Emily Doucet)

Oh, Hello to all you polished poets, reword nerds, and lexomancers. We are back! And in our "first draft" episode of season 4, Nicole is joined by the founder of Framing Devices, Emily Doucet. Emily is a writer, a researcher, and editor. Which makes her perfect for this weeks deep dive.

Emily and Nicole trace the word "edit" through publishing houses, cutting room floors, and genetic laboratories. They also discuss how it can be used for curation, cultural gatekeeping, and collaboration.

So break out the White-Out and red pens, be prepared to "kill your darlings", and remember... nobody's perfect, as we define edit.
