THE EDITING PROCESS
Welcome to my blog about the editing process! Copy editing can be a confusing stage for authors who are new to writing (as well as those who have been at it for a while!) - and my aim with this blog is to throw some light on how copy editing works. I answer questions about what to expect during the process, provide tips for reducing your editing costs, offer support for how to approach the technicalities of punctuation, dialogue, overwriting (and underwriting), as well as demonstrate how fiction editing can be kind as well as supportive. If you have any questions, or would like to know more about me and what I do, please do get in touch. Warmest regards, Manda
