Most unpublished writers have never known the benefits and rewards of working with an expert editor. As you create your Stories To Tell book, you’ll have the support that only the top-level professional authors receive from their publishers: your own personal editor. The articles in this section help you understand the book editing process and how your editor will collaborate with you to help create a book you’ll be proud of.
Read our articles to learn about revision (literally, to “see again”) the “macro" aspect of editing. Revision requires you to look for ways to improve the content of your book to see what’s there, and to see what isn’t there.
Another, “micro” aspect of editing, copy editing, focuses on factual, grammatical and mechanical correctness. Even though you have an editor, youll still retain control to make final choices about changes to your manuscript.
One of the benefits of self publishing is that you’re the boss. Your editor is there to help you, not to tell you what you have to do. After all, it’s your book! You’ll find that having an experienced partner to provide feedback when you need it makes the process of creating your book much easier and successful.
