Book Editing
Book Editing
So, several of you have might have done the NaNo, and you have your novel sitting in a virtual corner of our computer. You might have only opened it a few times as you're too lazy to go through the tedious process of self-editing. Or maybe you have a story you've been working on, and you feel like checking it for errors, but you're not sure if you can catch them. Well fear not!
I have a friend who's in Maine, and she's an aspiring editor. She's a high school graduate, and she's taken (and is taking) editing courses. She edited my NaNo novel from last year, and did quite a good job. She's basically looking for further practice, so feel free to send Heather an email at [email protected] and work out all the details. Also, if you're wondering if it costs anything, it doesn't necessarily, but you can also work out some sort of compensation for her

Jwosh, why haven't we made Hayah join the ToO? She would like it around here
*insert provocative quote here*
I think, Mecry, because she's through with forums for a bit I might try convincing her again, though

I didn’t know there were actual editing courses. I just edit based on my grammar classes. It’s sort of common knowledge from there.MITCHnTRENT wrote:She's a high school graduate, and she's taken (and is taking) editing courses.
No, 31899. I don't believe so, considering it's overseas. She just wants practice
Yes, bookworm. There are. I’m not sure what’s the name of the company/institute, but I remember that it’s in England. I’ll have to ask her
Edit: Asked her, and it's Chapter House Publishing Company.

I am very concerned when I hear of persons who claim to be editors or working to be editors and are not accredited or working towards accreditation with their country's national editing association.
Why? Did she claim to be an editor? Marvin posted that she is an "aspiring editor". She wants practice.
