Recommend an editor.

[Patti (baconater)]

This thread is for authors to recommend editors that they have personal experience with using and would recommend to others.

This is NOT a venue for editors to offer their services.

Authors, if you'd prefer to not publicly post your editor's details, please just let others know that you can be private messaged for the details.

Of course, Simon and I and Goodreads in general can not vouch for any services offered nor rendered.

Feel free to PM me but my editor is booked up almost a year in advance. :-)

I use D.M. Andrew's editor RJ locksley.

I based my decision on several things, a couple were, an edited sample 1000 words of my work was provided for free, so I could check the quality of work, and I could pay in installments.

Word of mouth counted for a lot.

I'm a poor struggling author after all.

The guidance they have given me is top notch, things I never considered and were missed by the previous editor.

Check them out, decide for yourself, but I'm happy.

For 'Winter Garden' I found an editor from the Society for Editors and Proofreaders website,
www.sfep.org.uk/ as they had a directory showing editors' particular skills and areas of interest. I found Catherine Best to be excellent, and very much on my wave length. But as Mel says, they are busy people and you would need to book in advance.
For 'Quilt Detective' I'm going to be working with a local editor who is in our scrapbook group. She normally works on highly technical books. It'll be a bit of light relief for her, I hope.

Just an update on my previous post... I met up with Fran today, who is my editor for the new book 'Quilt Detective'. She does have quite a bit of work on at the mo but said I could mention her... she's at powers-gardiner publishing services - I can give you her email addy if you send me a message.
