There’s no one size fits all when it comes to editing. So if you’re considering hiring an editor or proofreader but not really sure who or what you need (or what to expect), this excellent Writer’s Digest article clarifies the matter: 10 Things Your Freelance Editor Might Not Tell You—But Should.
I recommend paying particular attention to the differences and degrees of editing versus proofreading.
Like most professional proofreaders, I believe in being upfront and clear about my services. That way, both my clients and I know what to expect from the start, which ensures a satisfying experience for both of us.
If all authors understood these 10 Things when seeking editors or proofreaders, they’d be more likely to find the perfect match for their projects—resulting in happy clients, happy editors, and happy readers. 🙂
