A professional edit of your work is priceless and could be the difference between publication and the slush pile.
Dear Fellow Writer,One of the most common mistakes we all make as writers is submitting our work to agents and publishers before it’s really ready. There’s value in self-editing, but there’s also a lot of risk relying on our eyes only. Having a professional editor read your manuscript and help rid it of typos, grammatical errors, weak plot devices and more is not only one of the most valuable investments you can make toward your writing career, it’s also what may make the difference between your book getting published and getting thrown in the slush pile.As a writer and author myself, I know the value of a professional editor firsthand and have seen with my own eyes what a big difference hiring one makes.Here at Writer’s Digest we’ve collected some amazing professional editors and now have them at your disposal with our 2nd Draft program. Writer’s Digest 2nd Draft allows you to tell us what you’re looking for and we find you an editor that fits your needs.
