Before hiring a freelance editor to help polish your manuscript, it&#39;s important to understand the different levels of editing services available, says author and freelance editor Jason Schmetzer. Once you understand the differences between proofreading, copyediting, line editing,&nbsp;and developmental editing, you need to determine the type of editing your manuscript will require to be its best. This means doing some self-assessment and cataloging your strengths and weaknesses as a writer. Some writers need basic copy editing, while others need deeper guidance on structure or styling. When ready to hire a freelance editor, Schmetzer recommends finding the right fit for your genre and specific needs - the more specialized your editor, the better the end results. A good editor will request a sample of your work to make sure they are a sound fit for the project and to provide you with an accurate cost estimate. Other things that Schmetzer says to look for in a good author-editor relationship include professionalism and good communication.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-72/ConsiderationsWhenHiringaFreelanceEditor.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ConsiderationsWhenHiringaFreelanceEditor.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/editorial-services/w/editorial-assessments/7133/considerations-when-hiring-a-freelance-editor/revision/1Mon, 19 Nov 2018 19:07:31 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:87a0dac9-27d3-40a1-9d75-29b87dfcb750Jason Schmetzerhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/editing/editorial-services/w/editorial-assessments/7133/considerations-when-hiring-a-freelance-editor#commentsRevision 1 posted to Editorial Assessments by Jason Schmetzer on 11/19/2018 7:07:31 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>Whether or not you need to hire a freelance book editor will depend on several factors including your editing needs, your own editing skills, and your chosen publishing path.
