Natasa Lekic on How to Find and Work with a Book Editor
Manage episode 291726999 series 2125722
You may think that as you're the book's author, then you're the best person to edit it, but finding and working with a good editor can help improve the writing that you produce.
Not only will editors find and fix errors in your manuscript that you might have missed when you were writing them, but it can also be like having access to your own coach or mentor. Editors are trained professionals who can help you improve your craft and help you spot issues you've missed.
A good editor can offer advice specific to the types of problems you have with writing that you won't necessarily find in a book about writing.
I caught up with the founder of NY Book Editor, Natasa Lekic. Her company has been in the business of helping authors for over eight years, and they have several high-profile success stories, some of which she talks about in this week's interview.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why Natasa started NY Book Editor
- Who is NY Book Editor's target market?
- What is a good editorial fit?
- How long the editorial process takes
- At what point should you enlist the help of an editor?
- How much does an editor cost?
Resources:
- NY Book Editors
- Story by Robert McKee
- An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
- Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
