Face The Book TV #22

Before you ask Aunt Nancy to edit your precious manuscript, consider that the right experienced professional editor will have the skills to refine the readability, and ultimately, the marketability of your book.

Professional book editor Megan Harris joins host Charlotte Pierce to discuss best practices for hiring an editor who can enhance your project. She’ll dive into some of the important issues writers face in creating and refining manuscripts and finding the right editor. 

You may need more than one type of editor, explains Megan, depending on the stage of your book project. You’re just beginning to write, a development editor can steer you in the right direction. A talented copy editor will notice if your character’s eye color changes mid-manuscript. A meticulous proofreader will catch glaring errors that you’ve passed over hundreds of times.

Face The Book TV livestream & podcast is produced and copyrighted by Pierce Press in collaboration with Independent Publisher of New England. Be sure to visit this page often for show notes and special offers from our guests, and contact the producer for sponsorship and advertising availability.
