Editing

[close] This group is about sharing photography insights, experience, and skills.

[close] Hello, I am a professional book editor looking to get my freelance career off the ground. I have book publishing degree and work in the industry, but would love to start working from home. To begin making a name for myself, I'd like to offer free editing of your complete (or nearly complete) manuscripts. I can do substantial, structural, stylistic and/or copy editing/proofreading. I have worked on now-published books of fiction, YA, children's, history (and other nonfiction), short stories and poetry. I can also work with some genre-specific material, especially mystery and crime. All I ask for is a very brief written review/testimonial of my services. If you would like me to look at your manuscript, please post a few lines about the book and what type of editing you would like done. I'm located in Canada but have edited US, UK, AUS, etc content. Don't worry, I won't add "u"'s into your harbors or colors. Thanks!

[close] Are you an author in search of advice? Funding? Editing (not glorified, overcharged proofreading but ACTUAL, PROFESSIONAL editing)? Post your your needs here!

[close] This is an editing circle meant to ease the burden of self-publishing. There's no forced participation, but you must bring something to the table. After self-editing, PLEASE FIND AN EDITOR. The concept is to make a group where people pool their self-publishing skills together to help each other self-edit. We're all good at something, but not everything. - Development edit - Content edit - Proofreading - Blurb writing - Book cover (No free book covers necessary) - Critiques (we do not offer reviews but individuals can decide to provide one) THINGS TO CONSIDER: - you must have a skill (you must have something to offer, even if it's just the ability to read and critique) - you do not have to give your manuscript (all edits are done in a safe way that does not involve DOC or PDF files) - you're encouraged to participate in reading the first chapter of someone's work when requested (especially the works of new authors)
