SURVEY - Have you ever thought about working with an editor? Why or why not?

[Christina]

Hello,

I am running a survey about the market for editors among independent/self-published authors, and need people to fill it out.

I want to learn about why you have or haven't ever considered working with an editor. If you're interested, please fill out the survey in the link below - it takes only about 10 minutes to complete.

Thanks!

A survey about working with freelance fiction editors.

Is there any way we can take the survey without having to give an email address

[Christina]

Unfortunately, no. I'm doing the survey as part of an application for a program that will give me mentorship/support to start my own business, and they require that I keep the contact info of everyone who completes the survey.

I won't do the survey but yes I have worked with an editor for one of my books and I plan to do it again. She was very perceptive and it felt good to have a fresh pair of eyes overlook my work.

Hi Rochelle,

No worries. I've had enough people fill it out through Goodreads and other groups that I'm part of. However, if this thread encourages people to talk about editors, I'm happy to keep the conversation going.
