I’m super busy at the moment writing for three different projects. One, my novel, is approaching the stage where I am going to need an editor. So I’ve started looking.
Where do I start? With what I know and trust is the answer. I know both Cayce Berryman and Michelle King through as fellow admins for Authors Tale and I love their work. Cayce was the editor-in-chief for the anthology Heart of a Child, where you can find my first two published stories: Goodnight and God Be With You All and Tell Us A Story, Pa. (Shameless plug warning: if you would like to read these, and many other great stories, you can get Heart of a Child here.)
Anyway, back on track. Cayce and Michelle have now joined forces and have created Kingsman Editing Services. I love these girls AND their work. If only they used British English … If only I could bring myself to use American English… (sigh).
If you are good with AmE – I can highly recommend these guys. They are writers as well as editors – so they understand what an author wants. And they are passionate about getting a finished product that is excellent.
I wonder if I can live with AmE … (sigh).
Cheers
Kerry

This is one of the hardest decision an author will make. I just wrote a (humorous) blog today advertising for my own editor. Cheers!

What a great idea! Let me know how it goes. Sorry it took so long for me to respond: I’ve been away in the Australian Red Centre on holidays – and the reception is not so good out there.

No problem. I had to Google that. Is that considered the heart of the Outback area, out of curiosity?
Blog entry went fine. Hoping it helps out my editor. Cheers.

Yep, sure is. Went to Alice Springs, Uluru and Kings Canyon. Great trip – but so much distance to cover! It’s only now that I can appreciate just how remote parts of my own country are.

Oh boy, I can only imagine. I think I’d pack myself fifty gallons of water for starters, haha. I’d be a nervous wreck.
