The Importance Of An Editor
What an editor does:
An editor is a fresh set of eyes who provides an alternate perspective, forces you to think critically about your work, and assists in elevating your story.
A developmental editor asks more of you and encourages you to reword and rework areas of your book that may be tough to digest as a reader. They assist in making your book more profitable and popular. This type of editor helps with the structure and flow of your character and story arcs, among other things. They research your topic and ensure the nuances of your book are clean and clear.
A copy editor (also called a line editor) ensures your grammar and punctuation are perfect. While there are a lot of grammatical rules that can be overlooked in writing, typos certainly cannot. They will also assist with sentence structure and word choice.
A proofreader catches any mistakes that the previous editors did not. They work as a fail-safe.
Editors are pivotal in ensuring your book is ready for publication. When you sign with me, you not only get someone who has built a business for this, you gain a friend. My main goal is to help and elevate your voice.
