Hi everyone, my name is Esther and I am a content creator for writers. On many occasions I love to collaborate with authors when I write articles, and I am here to ask a few questions, this time regarding finding the right editor & the process of working together.
I have a few questions in need of an answer and I’d be happy to quote you along with your author website, or respect your anonymity if you wish readers not to know your name. Please copy paste the questions along with your answers below.
And thank you so much for reaching out, I truly am grateful for all your input. I’ll post the article here as soon as it’s ready.
1. If your manuscript is written in (for example) British English, should the editor be from the UK for a satisfactory result? 2. Where did you find the right editor for your manuscript? 3. How did you make your selection from the myriad of editors on the market and what services have you hired for your manuscript? 4. What do you as an author consider an acceptable fee/rate for developmental editing, copy-line editing or proofreading and which service are you most likely to hire? 5. What are the qualities you are looking for in an editor? 6. Did you ever have a negative experience working with an editor?
Example: 2. Where did you find the right editor for your manuscript? John Doe: I started looking…
With this short interview, I aim to solve some issues new authors may have upon taking a first step in the writing industry, and it may also help new editors understand what authors find reasonable in terms of budget.
I for one am really excited to see how things are from your perspective & I look forward to learning from you as much as I possibly can. Once again, thank you all.
