Hey, guys! Jane Friedman of Writer’s Digest has a post this morning containing links to a whole plethora of stuff on her blog about the world of writing and publishing.
Why am I telling you this? Well, for one thing, Jane and I had a chat on Twitter the other evening about writing advice, and that was fun.
But the real reason is she’s got a post on Hiring a Professional Editor vs. Getting Amateur Critiques. It’s an excellent post. And she asks those who’ve had experience with professional editors to chime in!
Great info! This is so good to know the difference between the two. I have a friend who edits for her job. She’s looking over my partial to send to an agent, and she’s helped me out so much because she knows what to look for more than anyone else I’ve met (besides wonderful hired editors like yourself!)
Please—feel free to voice your opinion of my expertise in the comments on Jane’s post! 🙂
