It’s New Year, New You time! And we’re ringing in 2019 by interviewing seasoned Mind-Body-Spirit editor Emily Han, proprietor of Lyrical Editing. She gives us insight into the world of a freelance developmental editor—how she manages her time, navigates relationships with authors, and how she brings her own spiritual journey to the work she does.

As you may have guessed, we’re forced out of our sarcastic comfort zones as Emily encourages us to open up about spiritual explorations, the books that help us cope, and how we want to expand our reading horizons.

Some books Emily has edited:

• Be Nobody by Lama Marut
• Wisdom Rising by Lama Tsultrim
• The Awakened Woman by Dr. Tererai Trent
• Messages from the Divine by Sara Wiseman

Other books we discuss:

• When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron
• How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan
• The Road to Jonestown by Jeff Guinn
• Limetown (the podcast and the book)
• Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Haruki Murakami

Digital or offset? Smooth or glossy? Coated or uncoated? Foreign or domestic? Black and white, two color, or full color? There are a LOT of choices and not a lot of room for mistakes when it comes to printing decisions. (Seriously, though, if you’ve ever seen a pallet of books come in chock-a-block with splotches, overprints, and fading, you’ll never take a good print job for granted again.)

Jessica Clark, who plays printing on hard mode with comics and graphic novels, gives us a peek into her world and a little background on how she arrived there. Plus we talk paper tariffs and read a few of the many Amazon reviews for a book that pretty much nobody has read, but happens to be plastered all over the news right now.

In this episode:

• The worst $1,849.99 you could ever spend
• Maybe the only somewhat fun tangent we can take on the subject
• Ouchtown, Population: Mark Judge
• Buying Canadian paper is safe…for now…

Some (available) books mentioned in this episode:

• “Human beings were never born to read.” **GASP**
• Magical tales of foggy London town
• The book that Corinne better be reading, too.
• An addiction memoir for shame and schadenfreude
• Aw hell, why not kick ass in a bikini?
