How do you go about finding an editor for your works?

Joe Cosentino Paul, thanks for the thoughtful question. It's an easy answer. My publishers supply me with terrific editors. My In My Heart series, Bobby and Paolo Holiday Stories, Tales from Fairyland, and upcoming Found At Last series are with Dreamspinner Press. My Cozzi Cove series is with NineStar Press. My Jana Lane mysteries are with The Wild Rose Press. In each case, the publisher provided me with wonderful editors who appreciated my unique, comedic, dramatic style and offered helpful and resourceful research, thoughts, and comments. A good editor doesn't try to impose their style on an author, but instead they offer a different insight to consider. I self-publish my Nicky and Noah mystery series, since it's such a specialized comedy cozy mystery series. So my spouse is my editor. After he gives me notes, I argue each one. Two minutes later, I realize he's always right (which he never lets me forget-hah). As Nicky might say, "I'm more grateful than a closet gay politician in the backroom of a gay bar during a blackout." (smile) A good editor is important to a writer. I'm thankful to have several. Good readers are important too. Thank you! Joe Cosentino http://www.JoeCosentino.weebly.com
