You Need An Editor

Posted in General at 9:30 pm by Susan Tuttle

It’s a fact: Writers who work with a critique and editing service are more successful than those who work with no editorial supervision. Novels, short stories, essays, newsletters, term papers, dissertations, non-fiction books, magazine articles, advertising copy, technical writing, ghostwriting, blogs, self-publishing – these and more all stand to benefit. No matter what level you are on, no matter how sophisticated your manuscript or how successful you are, you need an editor to fine-tooth-comb your finished product. Every writer whose goal is publication – or continued publication – needs a good editor.

Send me your first two pages of you book-length work, or the first page of your story (or article, paper, etc.) and let me show you how I can polish them for you – at no charge. Let me show you how great editing can get you closer to your goal: your story, article,  ad copy, newsletter, book or novel in printed form.

As Patricia Highsmith states, “The secret of success in writing is individuality.”

Individuality means you need a strong, unique voice that radiates through tight compelling composition. With an amazing amount of competition in the writing world, what rises to the top? Perfect spelling, punctuation, and grammar; fluid sentence structure and transitions; mesmerizing plots filled with stunning twists and peopled with fascinating characters; all presented in a fresh, consistent style that makes editors and readers alike demand more.

Show the world your best. Give yourself the gift of a great editor.
