This week on What’s Up Waco, I got to sit down with Angela R. Hughes, a published author and the mastermind behind Ink & Iron Fiction Coaching. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book, getting it published, or just wondering what editors actually look for, this episode is a goldmine.
Angela shares all the juicy insider info — what makes a manuscript stand out, how to make a book appealing even as a first-time author, and the classic mistakes to avoid so your story doesn’t get lost in the shuffle. Her tips are practical, honest, and exactly what every aspiring writer needs to hear.
I’m always so excited to highlight another local Waco author doing incredible things, and Angela is doing just that — inspiring writers and showing what’s possible when you follow your passion.
