Congratulations! You did it. You’ve finished your magnum opus. This must be celebrated. Literally months of your life went into the body of work you have created. Now that the work is finally completed, here’s why you need an editor.
An editor’s job is to work with you to make your writing the best it can be.
An editor can also save you time. You have so much going on already and the time you spent to write this piece was likely taking chunks of time away from other things you need and want to do. When you bring your work to an editor’s capable hands, this frees you to do all those other things while your editor polishes your work.
An editor should work with you to determine the type of editing you need based upon consultation with you and a careful reading of the manuscript.
An editor can find (and fix) the issues you didn’t realize were still present in the manuscript. All those details you can’t see because you’ve done nothing but eat sleep and breathe this particular piece for months. And besides-- you thought you fixed that. How is that problem still there?!
These and many other issues can be vanquished with the help of an editor. All that will be seen by anyone reading your final product is a polished piece of writing that flows from point to point or from scene to scene, just as you intended. An editor’s work can be totally secret. And your work will be the best it can be.
There are two options available if you are in the beginning of your journey, depending on where you are
in the writing process.
Spark Call—This call is useful when you haven’t yet put pen to paper, but you have an idea that’s
keeping you up at night and you need a gentle push to begin and to keep writing.
This is where my over 10 years of experience as an editor can work for you. I will schedule a call
with you to discuss your idea, and partner with you to give the spark you have its best possible
start. $40
Manuscript Review Call-- This is useful when you have a manuscript. I will read the whole thing,
making detailed notes as I go regarding strengths and weaknesses. Then I will schedule a call
with you to discuss what the manuscript may need as well as next steps. $100
And the good news is I will gladly deduct the cost of these listed services from your full editing
package should you wish to continue working with me.
You Can do it. And I will help you.
