A Little on Book Editing

Now that I have created a brand new place for my 'book work', it's time to start filling the pages. Where does one start? A little about me maybe?

How did it come about? As with most things - a change of lifestyle. When this happened I decided that I needed something I could get my teeth into and searched within myself for what I love. Books jumped to the forefront. I have always loved books and right from a very young age they attracted me. Books have a way of making you feel alive, of taking you to places only dreamed of, making you aware that anything is possible, of encouraging you to take that next step...

I enrolled in an editing course and in due time received my Diploma. I've been a book editor for a number of years and thoroughly enjoy helping authors 'get their words out' into the world. It is very satisfying to see an author with a huge smile on their face and happy with the final result. It also gives them confidence to 'go forth' and let their book be seen by millions of people around the world.

The editing process is probably the most important process in the 'manuscript to published book' link. An author always needs an editor to polish their work. Without this, it can hold up all that hard work. Words are the most important aspect of language. Without them, there would be no language and therefore, no books.

Do contact me if you would like to add your book to my blog for extra exposure, or enquire about the next step to take in the publishing process. I look forward to hearing from you...
