So, @humble pier, are you a professional editor??

humble pier Sep 27, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

#

never really edited

azure junco Sep 27, 2023, 5:20 PM

#

Ah! And the document posted is 'edited'?

ember sedge Sep 27, 2023, 5:21 PM

#

Yes, more or less, that was one from a few days ago, I have more pages written already just haven't posted it yet

azure junco Sep 27, 2023, 5:22 PM

#

Got it.
I may have time this afternoon to look it over a bit closer (I have to prep for a class tonight), but there were a few things that stood out right away.

Okay!

humble pier never really edited

So, basically, you're doing a Beta Read?
Just reading it over for the story content...to make certain the story is consistent and appealing, right?

humble pier Sep 27, 2023, 5:28 PM

#

basically yeah

azure junco Sep 27, 2023, 5:29 PM

#

No problem....

#

So, on this chart, you're working the first few arrows...going back and forth with the author to cement the story ideas, acting as a critique partner.

#

That's good, because a Developmental Editor is expensive!

#

We have everything on lock, we're doing good with the strategy we have currently, but thank you

azure junco Sep 27, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

I'm starting to look it over...

#

I'm finding a repeating phrase that will need to be cleaned up:

azure junco Sep 27, 2023, 9:02 PM

#

There were too many of them, so I've just marked that phrase in the final edit.
