What can an editor do for you?
People invest the time and emotional energy into writing when the topic or content is relevant and important to them. The biggest problem is that a writer already knows what they mean to say, yet the words on the page are open to interpretation by the reader.
An editor uses their skills to ensure your work conveys your message with the passion and clarity you intend. Whether it’s a short story or a business proposal, they help you resonate with your reader. When writers who resonate they are more likely to find an agent, negotiate a book deal, increase readership, and even secure a loan.
There are different types of editing. The following table gives an overview of the common types of editing, what the edits focus on, and when writers typically need to use each type of editing.
