Editing, Publishing and Books to Get You Out of a Reading Slump with Nicole Frail (E115)
Manage episode 451095061 series 3588904
Nicole Frail is the owner of Nicole Frail Edits, a small editing business that offers services to indie and querying authors, publishers, and small business owners. She is also the publisher of Nicole Frail Books, a super small passion-project-based publishing company with a community-focused approach that released its first two titles—As the Snow Drifts: A Cozy Winter Anthology and Another Chance to Get It Right: A New Year's Eve Anthology—under the And You Press imprint this November.
Nicole started her editing career 15 years ago in educational book production before moving to New York City to work at a traditional independent publishing company. 12 years later, after editing more than 500 books and working up to the titles of senior acquisitions editor and lead children's book editor, she turned her focus to taking Nicole Frail Edits from a part-time side hustle to a full-time small business. And somewhere along the way, Nicole Frail Books/And You Press became a reality. Nicole is a board member for Revise & Resub (#RevPit), an editor-led writing community that supports authors by offering editing-focused chats and mini-events throughout the year as well as an annual contest wherein querying authors can win feedback and edits on their full manuscripts from professional developmental editors.
