Hiring a Freelance Editor - A Series

[jessicasteiner]

A major thing that's been occupying me lately was the search for a freelance editor for The Sleeping Death. This whole process was completely new to me, and I had to learn a lot in a short time. So I've decided to do a series of posts on what I've learned through this process, hopefully so that it will benefit someone who might want to do what I've done!

The series will be on the following topics:

• Why I decided to hire a freelance editor


• Organization for my search


• Places to look for editors


• Types of edits


• Pricing and legal stuff

The links will take you directly to the specific post, so you can skip over the ones that you're not interested in.

I hope that this information is useful to you, and at least saves you a little time and worry. For any of these topics, if you know anything I've missed, or if I've misconstrued something, I'd very much welcome you sharing your own knowledge for the benefit of everyone.

I'm also doing this series as part of the three_weeks_for_dw fest, so I won't be crossposting it outside of Dreamwidth until after I finish posting all the sections. Enjoy this semi-exclusive content ;)
