What is an Editor?
Ever asked yourself the question of, “What does an editor do?”, “Why do I need them?”
Most publishing companies are well equipped with editors and editing staff. Each one using a different approach to editing and making the text that you have offered them for publication readable and understandable by all grammatical rules and standards.
We use line editing, a time consuming process that we feel provides you with the best results. Each line painstakingly edited and molded for grammar, spelling and smoothness of readability. Some of the most common miss used words are:
| to, too, two | they’re, their, there | affect, effect |
| course, coarse | accept, except | bare, bear |
| weather, whether | hair, hare | here, hear |
| here, hear | war, wore | week, weak |
| our, are | meet, | advise, advice |
Manuscripts that are riddled with misspelled words and grammatical errors are red flags to readers that the writer or author is lazy or has no knowledge of the English language as it is intended. Editors save face in a scrutinizing environment and retain the reputation and integrity of the writer by making sure that words, grammar, punctuation are all used properly and professionally. Make sure your editor has a good grasp of the language that you are catering to. They sometimes can make or break a publication.
