Although I am getting back into reading, I don't read the volume I once did. I could never be an editor because the grammar and spelling isn't what I notice in a story. It's the story itself, the characters and the flow that will win me or lose me. <br /><br />I think a good editor is the second one you described but a great editor is all three with a compassionate heart for the author. Someone who understands the author's point of view and attachment to their work but who can guide them to make it better. I believe you embody this and would be an excellent editor for author.Willow Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106489265767821723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856051844866086501.post-31606659638806478932014-11-29T08:48:21.060-09:002014-11-29T08:48:21.060-09:00I have journal editing in my background, and I pub...I have journal editing in my background, and I published a book for our little town, for which I collected and edited personal narratives. I enjoy the editing process, and I am good at it, but I'd rather be writing.Barbara Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271931747878432737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856051844866086501.post-67533509099104304692014-11-15T12:15:34.296-09:002014-11-15T12:15:34.296-09:00I've done some editing for other writers as we...I've done some editing for other writers as well, a mix of all three elements, but particularly copy and content.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856051844866086501.post-88157209620095888972014-11-15T04:57:56.566-09:002014-11-15T04:57:56.566-09:00Honesty and truth in advertising.

I wish you all the luck in the world :-)Crystal Schallhttp://www.openhouseediting.comnoreply@blogger.com
