Getting a good edit
is important. Do it yourself or hire someone, it doesn’t matter. But be careful
of random editors soliciting on the web.
I just read an advertisement from a, so
called, editing company that bordered on unbelievable. I hope writers are not
this gullible. The article explained why a cheap edit was a bad edit, and writers
should hire this company to get a good and correct edit. The problem? In one
paragraph their math said editing eight pages at two dollars per page netted
ten dollars.
Hum –
8 X 2=10, new math I
guess. They also used the word here for
hear and rambled so bad that their entire argument for hiring them seemed
laughable.
My take, edit. But do
it yourself, research and find a good professional editor, or with good luck,
get a book contract and let them edit.
Good Luck!
**NOTE – If you find
errors in my stuff, the above is an unedited post, but then again I do not
claim to be an editor.
But then again, if
you want to send money my way, oh never mind.
