Demystifying Freelance Editing with Pamela Hewitt

You’ve written The End on the last page of your manuscript. Now what?

Every manuscript demands a unique editorial response. For writers, there’s much to learn from the editing process. The good news? The editor you work with is on your side. 

This workshop explores what to expect from editing. You’ll discover how to find the right editor for your manuscript, how to negotiate the precise editorial work you need, and how much you should expect to pay.

Maybe most importantly, we’ll tease out how to make the most from the editing process so that it will benefit your future writing.

• Distinguish the editing service your manuscript needs
