That doesn’t mean flawless (even professional authors have copy-editors) but you should know: how to construct an engaging blog post, with a gripping introduction, clear message, and strong conclusion. But when you’re a freelance writer, your editor will definitely know your name.

I feel like the word editor is so difficult because it can mean so many things. What does a developmental editor do that is different to a line editor, a copy editor, a red-marks-all-over-the-page editor? I took a copy editing class through the University of Chicago, and that was very not for me.

Georgina: I think by now, the confidence for me has definitely been bolstered. Because not only is it my schedule, it's their editor's schedule, and the line editor, the copy editor, each person, their schedule. So, I think it's really interesting that that's what you said. You gotta hit those milestones.

I have definitely seen authors who have started out writing their early books, really from instinct. So they'll write a draft just as they have always done, they'll do this reverse outline, and then they'll do their own revision round , and then be able to come to me and go straight into copy editing because they just built that in.

I would like the one with all the references in there, definitely. I've sold over 380,000 copies of that first little book, and for a self-published book that is only available in paperback through Amazon I feel pretty good about that. Joanna: Yes, it's definitely something you have to get used to. Absolutely not.
