Nothing can strike fear in the hearts of writers more than subjecting a manuscript to an editor or proofreader. But it is just part of the publishing game... even for self publishing! Editor, self publishing coach and author, Dr. Heidi Thorne, MBA/DBA, shares her insights about the editing and proofreading processes, including: * Understanding Editing * Editing versus Proofreading: What's the Difference and Why You Need Both * Hiring Amateur Editors and Proofreaders * Should You Ever Edit or Proofread Your Own Work?
I have some experience with self publishing, so some of the information presented wasn't new. However, if you're new this information is invaluable! Even if you do have experience, this is a nice refresher on the basics foundations we all need. Heidi presents all the informaetion in an easy to understand format. Each chapter is broken down in simple sections. What I like most about Heidi is she doesn't talk down to the reader.
