My name is Anna, and I’ll be your editing companion!
Congratulations! You have a draft ready for editing! You’ve conquered the writing process, and I’m here to help you bring your manuscript to the next level. I call myself your companion, because I’m exactly that: a mentor and friend who will be there for you and work with you to create the most enthralling version of your manuscript.
Why do I need an editor?
I’ve attended and asked questions during many interviews with people who work in publishing. The one constant, no matter if they work for the Big Four or a small press, is this: Publishing houses receive hundreds of manuscripts every day, and they only have time to read the first few sentences of each. If those sentences have a mistake or do not pique their interest, your beloved manuscript will end up thrown away.
So what’s the publishing houses’ advice?
No successful book is just its author. Hire a professional editor before submitting your manuscript for publishing.
What if I’m self-publishing?
If you’re self-publishing, having a clean and professional grade manuscript is the most important factor to your success. Skipping the publishing house means every stage of polishing and tweaking is on you, the writer.
Ease that burden and keep your book in the hands of your readers by hiring a professional editor!
