About this title

Synopsis

Finding the right editor can be daunting. And the wrong editor? Devastating!

What if an editor doesn’t get you as a writer? Or doesn’t understand your voice? Or doesn’t have the experience they said they had? Or what if your personalities don’t mesh?

How do you protect yourself—and your book—and yet build trust with an editor?

Simple. Let a seasoned editor give you all the information—and secrets—you need to know! From knowing what editors do to evaluating if you’re ready to be edited to guidelines for effective contracts with an editor, this book will give you all the insider information you need to find and work with the best editor for you!
