Beta readers are amazing. They can help find plot holes, grammar mistakes, and other issues with manuscripts. They help save you time and money with editing. And they are part of your fan base, and a great first marketing step for a book. According to Belinda Williams, it’s important to find the right kind of beta readers in order to get the most out of their feedback. She … [Read more...] about Indie Authors: Working with Beta Readers

Poetica, A New Editing Tool

Very recently, a new tool for editing called Poetica (that I've been waiting on for nearly two years, since I first heard about it at Books in Browsers) launched.

It can be embarrassing when a book has not been thoroughly … [Read more...] about Why You Need an Editor (And How to Save Money Finding One)

Editing: How Much is Too Much?

Thursday, June 23, 2011 by Sabrina Ricci

By Phoebe (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

The more I learn about editing, the more I realize it's like walking a tightrope. And that rope is as thin as dental floss. As a book editor (magazine editors have much more leeway), you have to watch for structure, grammar, and spelling, but you also have to look at stories from both a macro and micro view. Macro things could be the narrative arc, plot, character … [Read more...] about Editing: How Much is Too Much?
