Do we have Book Editors here?
Please make yourself known!My friend is looking for one and I would like to help them find where all of the editors hang out these days! (I am hoping the answer is Fedi)
Also - NO "editors" who use AI and just shove writing into LLM. Real human workers only!!
Edit: added a tag, and trying to reply to everyone tomorrow!

And done! I completed the 1,100-page copyediting project!
I look forward to hearing what the author has to say about the editing. I've made a lot of suggestions for tightening it up. She might even get it down to 1,000 pages. 😆

Sounds like fun: "National Geographic is seeking a copy editor to #copyedit National Geographic Kids #nonfiction & #fiction #books." Makes me angry: "Hiring range for this remote position is $26.50 to $32.00 per hour." Ridiculously low pay!

#indexing books before the #copyedit really drives home the degree to which #acquisition #editors (at least at this #press) do not do any mansucript development.
How do we normalize the hiring of #developmentaleditors as SOP in the book writing process, given this absence (at least at those presses where this is a structural absence)?

I've just switched servers, so I'm new here...again. Here's my new introduction. I'm from the Boston, MA area (US). I've been working as an independent communications specialist for 25+ years. Always looking for freelance #editing gigs. I #copyedit, #proofread, and #ghostwrite--mainly #books (all genres). My favorite hat is that of book coach. I love to help #authors make their self-publishing dreams come true. I'm also a #news junkie, blue, and a #cat lover. Hope to connect soon!
