Three Secrets of Working With an Editor

Reader complaint: too many writers and not enough editors!

Whether working with a traditional publisher or hiring a freelance editor as an indie author, every single author who wants to put out a high quality book needs a great editor.

That doesn’t mean you have to agree with or approve every single mark and comment, big or small. But it does means being open and listening and knowing how best to work with someone who you want to pay close attention to your work.

The following presentation on SlideShare – one of my most popular posts as a blogger – presents three secrets of working with an editor that every writer needs to know and embrace.
