Re: Need an editor

I wouldn't go into a big lawsuit without a lawyer, nor would I invest large sums of money without the the aid of reputable investors. Just like lawyers can be shysters, their are many dedicated to upholding the law.

The same applies with freelance editors. Check your source.
I've sent partial works to 3 editors. Two were worth their weight in gold. One didn't do as agreed. I wrote saying I would send the rest of the payment when he fulfilled the agreement. I've never heard from him again.

I'm planning on sending more of my work to a freelance editor that was an acquistion editor for twenty years at a major publishing house. I've taken time to read and study several books she edited and the sales of these books.

Still, I'm only sending a partial to see the work she does. This cuts my expense and sets me on the right track of cleaning up my work.

If you'd like the name of this editor, email me at jcasey@ptialaska.net.
