Get Thee To an Editor!
Perhaps you’re an aspiring writer with a book either in you, in process, or done. Then you’ve certainly heard the cry of "You need an editor," because ultimately, everybody does.
My friend Tara Weaver is a developmental editor which means she mostly looks at finished manuscripts and edits not just for mechanics but for style, narrative, literary merit and "saleability" to agents and publishers. She breaks it down in this interview.
Althought Tara and I haven’t worked together, I can say that I’ve met scores of her happy clients. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat.
