Why Would You Hire an Editor?
Global Issues
You need someone who can delve into your content and point out global issues of plot arc, character development, and clarity.
Objective Viewpoint
All writers have a blind spot for their own words. No matter how strong your prose, it can be improved by an objective editor.
Writing Skills
You know that it will take more than fixing errant punctuation to make that story shine, and you’re ready to receive professional editorial advice.
A Message from Chris Fox
How Do You Know if Alida’s the Right Editor for You?
There are several things to consider before hiring a professional. Besides budget, credentials, and references, you need to make sure you and the person you work with are a good fit. This is a working relationship, and if you’ve ever worked or had a relationship, you know that personality matters.
In other words, you have to like her.
That’s why Alida’s work begins with a conversation, so you can get to know her a little before a contract is even written.
