Presented by Laura Poole, Copy Editor, Owner, Archer Editorial Services
In this one hour teleclass, you will learn from an experienced copy editor how your work can benefit from editing at any level. In this day and age of slashed budgets, publishers only want to produce the best material with minimal work needed to get it ready for print. Making use of an editor helps improve your text and maximize your chances of being published. From developmental to technical to copy editing, professionals are available to help you make a stronger product, even before it is accepted for publication. Professional editors are experts in helping you put forth the strongest content in the most readable way, which boosts your reputation and image, while building your relationship with a publisher. Laura will discuss how to find, hire, work with, and learn from an editor, as well as discussing why you should hire one yourself before submitting your material to publishers.
