In the writers’ groups where I hang out online, these queries are evergreen: How do I know if I need a copyeditor  before  I submit my work to an agent or editor? The replies and comments are typically so head-spinning in their range and variety that no one could blame writers for being confused.

The most common reason is that many people think the job of an editor is to take their words and re-write them to sound heaps better. Once the structural editor is done and you’ve made the changed they’ve recommended, that’s when it’s time to bring in a line editor (often called a copy editor).

To me it suggests that each writer, perhaps in consultation with an agent or editor, decided the best approach for their book. It’s also possible that the writer decided and no one objected in the course of preparing the book for publication. A writer then can decide whether the trend works for them. Help for Writers.

Editing and Proofreading. Once you complete the writing of your content you need to proofread it and edit it so that the grammar and spelling are accurate. Once you have some distance, then you can begin the proofing process (unless you have a separate proofreader). Kenneth Waldman is a freelance writer and copy editor.

Most writers are rightly oblivious to style choices at this level. Their job is to draft and craft their work, trusting their copyeditors and proofreaders to monitor and apply the consistency readers appreciate (whether they realize it or not). We meet at Josephina’s, period. Like I said, subtle. Creative License. Alternative 1.

Georgina: Like a lot of authors that you've interviewed, I always wanted to be a writer as a child, and I was that kid with the desk in her bedroom, who would sit there and write books, even if it was just on notebook paper. Joanna: It's going to be interesting to talk to you today. Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into writing.
