Brett Godfrey is a multitalented author of the thriller Black Sunrise. He's worked as a lawyer, an engineer, and a pilot, which has given him some hair raising experiences.In this episode, we discuss those experiences and how Brett draws on them to help write his thriller books. He also talks about his writing process and how he spent many years developing the premise for Black Sunrise until he was happy to publish it, and he also touches upon his approach to self-censorship. In this episode we discuss:

• Why you should hire both a developmental editor and a copy editor
• Going back through your manuscript to hone and refine the story 
• Drawing on your own personal experiences
• Referring to old diaries and journals for inspiration
• Using vivid language to express emotions
• Staying faithful to a character
• Learning to turn off your inner censor and let the writing flow
