Language of the Soul Podcast

Indie Publishing with Author and Literary Editor Elizabeth Suggs

Dominick Domingo Season 2024 Episode 5

Join us as we chat with Elizabeth Suggs of Collective Tales Publishing and Editing Mee. Her literary prowess in Speculative Fiction, among other genres,  is as inspiring as it is eye-opening. We discuss the written word from the perspective of both writer and publisher, hats Elizabeth wears equally well. Our conversation ventures from the driving force behind the human compulsion to tell stories, through quieting voices of doubt in order to take command of an author's voice, to the delicate dance of preserving that unique voice throughout the editorial process.

As someone who once lost and fervently reclaimed her love for writing, Elizabeth understands the trials creatives endure. An intimate knowledge of the ever-evolving publishing world equally informs her work as both editor and publisher. We discuss Collective Tales' mission to nurture both the greener and more seasoned authors with whom they partner. In exploring the sometimes delicate relationship between author and editor, we arrive at the notion that respectful partnerships can be the alchemy that turns rough drafts into literary gold. So, lend us your ears and embark on this exploration of literature's power to define, challenge, and shape our existence.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.

This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
