"Now, that's good writing." ~your readers
Writing should always keep the readers in mind. Lose that, and the focus of the book goes sideways. This is the core of my approach as an editor. I'm Rachel. Nice to meet you and your book!
I tease that I uses the Oxford comma without apology, but truth is, occasionally, rules are meant to be broken. It depends on the genre, or subgenre, the consistency in writing style or a needed break from it. More than adherence to grammar, good writing allows for the organics of language to play, which is where editing becomes fun. Whether substantively editing, copy editing, or proofreading, I gives focus beyond how sentences are structured, but to how they’ll be interpreted. Paying special attention to the writer’s voice, I offer warm and constructive comments to capture your intention in with your manuscript, providing insight to make chapters cohesive, from cover to back jacket. I want to help you entertain and inform your readers and, ultimately, sell the project – your book. I am inspired by every story. Sometimes you’ll find me in the NaNoWriMo community, tutoring English to international students or enjoying an Earl Grey tea latté. “I edit because words matter. Yours.” ~Rachel Read More |
