March 30, 2024

Many word lovers desire to edit the words of others, but how do you gain the knowledge to improve prose like a pro?

While there are many ways to work with words, no one person knows how to do it all. This second edition of April Michelle Davis’s The Insider’s Guide to Expert Editing is chock-full of insights from experts in the field, with a focus on five manuscript service categories that every editor should consider for their arsenal:

  • Manuscript critiquing
  • Developmental editing
  • Copyediting
  • Proofreading

 

A detailed analysis of each service type is followed by an expert’s key insights from their real-world experiences of working with their clients. In the Insider’s Guide, April Michelle offers practical answers to editorial questions that she has received throughout her career—giving you a seat at the editor’s desk, while revealing the essence of the job and the key strategies to help you succeed.
