Whether you’re writing a book, article, or blog post, you want to present your work as professionally as you are capable of doing.
Often, that means hiring an editor.
- What if I’m not sure what type of editor (or editing) my project needs?
- How can an editor help me assess what my manuscript needs?
- Should I look for an editor I can work with start-to-finish, or should I hire several editors who specialize in certain types of editing?
- How can I avoid “analysis paralysis” – editing my manuscript to death?
Tisha Martin, a professional editor, joined us last week (Episode #27) to discuss how an editor is an integral part of a writer’s publishing team. She’s back again today to help us determine the type of editor(s) who might best suit our project.
We’ll also break down the five types of editing:
- Critique or Content Development Edit
- Line Edit
- Copyedit
- Typesetting, Formatting/Layout
- Proofread
