With the ease of self-publishing, one of the most often overlooked steps in writing is editing. But for an avid reader, the most frustrating things are errors in the work, whether they are in the form of spelling, grammar, or formatting. Inaccuracies disrupt the reader’s flow and interrupts their thought process, taking them from a place of enjoying the story to wondering and sometimes looking for the next mistake.

The writer’s message is now lost in a sea of blunders, causing the reader to question, if this is not right, what else in the story is wrong. This possibly next great classic tale now becomes just another unread book on the shelf and perhaps the end of a budding writer’s dream of being named in the same breath as Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison, Terry McMillan, or Stephen King.

The editor’s job is to make the writer’s work flawless, to fill in the gaps and make their opus, one that is read year after year, rather than a once and done endeavor.

Turn your love of reading into an income producing venture by becoming an editor or simply make your work shine.
