All About Editing

Did you know there are six steps to producing a book, and THREE of them are editing??? But ask yourself: What do you really know about editing? Do you understand the differences between developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading? Do you know what order they need to be done in? Do you know how you should prepare your manuscript for editing, or even how to find reliable editors, and how much they will cost?

On Wednesday, November 14, you’ll have a chance to get all the answers you need, as professional editors Karen Tucker and Andrew Doty team up to talk All About Editing at the monthly St. Louis Publishers Association meeting at the Richmond Heights Community Center.

Learn about the different types of editors and editing, tips and tricks for communicating effectively with your editors, and advice on editing your own manuscript to save time and money.
