“I just love Chip’s attitude about writing and editing. He understands the work it takes to work through the hard stuff to get to the great stuff.”

“I just love Chip’s attitude about writing and editing. He understands the work it takes to work through the hard stuff to get to the great stuff.  Chip was one of the faculty members at a writing/editing conference I went to at Poynter years ago, so I knew he was going to be good. He values the relationship between a reporter and an editor, and much of what he teaches revolves around those two people working together for the reader and for the story. A quote he put up at the end of the webinar captures that optimistic attitude: “Accept the flaws of your first draft to find the promise of the final story.”
