So I wrote a post last week about not having ever used an editor. We are about to publish the book grydscaen: dissonance and I am toying with actually getting an editor. Luckily my publisher has editing services so it will not be difficult to find an editor. I was worried about having to find someone in the wild which could be a shady business. Now I have been through the new book dissonance 3 times already and am getting…..

Today on our segment on writing I wanted to talk about the editing process that I use. For me I have an undergraduate degree in English which focused on comparative literature and creative writing. I also have a background from work in technical writing and translation so this gives me a little edge in the editing department. By no means am I the grammar police but I can do a pretty decent critique for flow and wording. The editing process…..

I was revisiting grydscaen: tribute as I think about getting the book professionally edited or farming it out to beta readers. I don’t have beta readers at this point and I don’t know really how to…..
