Dauntless Writing Podcast Episode 12: Get a good editor
As a writer, you have an editor mode and creative mode. But if you know you have a dedicated editor, it will be easier to stay in creative mode. It is of paramount importance to learn proper punctuation right off the bat, but nothing can replace the expertise and distance that an additional set of eyes can offer. So go out there and get a good editor.
In this Podcast:
- Why you really can’t edit your own work;
- It may be that you don’t know as much as you think (I didn’t);
- Being professional by building a team around yourself;
- What to do on a tight budget – barter for the services of an editor; and
- Your job is to produce as professional a product as you can, so that’s your priority.
