Oh, the joys of finishing a book (GASP!), but then there’s the next step, finding an editor. Where and how do you do this? I had no idea, no idea at all, on how to do this, until I finally looked at something that had been staring me in the eye…for months. One of the blogs that I frequent, which focuses on the Chick Lit genre, offers an editing service. Duh! After filling out the required information, I felt very eager to get a reply back from the editor, and later that night, I did! We’ve been e-mailing each other for the past few days, and today, she gave me her proposed price for editing my work! I was overjoyed! “Can this really be happening?” I felt professional, it’s almost as if I’m a “real” writer. If I do decided to have this editor edit my work, sending it to her will only be one step closer to being a Writer.
You’re already a real writer! 🙂 But congrats on this next step — I hope your editor’s suggestions are super-helpful!
Thank you for your comment! It’s nice of you to say and it’s nice to read that I am a writer, yet it’s hard to believe. 🙂
I’m on a very small military pension and I was really sweating the need for an editor till a former publisher told me to check the universities in my area for a grad student in English.
She did the typo, grammar, and sentence structure editing for nothing but a mention in the book. Though I’m sure she will use the experience in her resume 🙂
Oh, how awesome, and what a great idea! Thanks for sharing this! Have a great idea! 🙂
That is amazing – good for you! I hope it works out – keep us posted!
Thanks for your comment, Kaye! I am hoping it does work out as well! Have a great day! 🙂
