There is a green forest, full of trees of every kind. On one end of the forest, to the north, there are blue mountains. Towering over the lush green trees of the woods, they resolve to pure white peaks before touching clear aquiline skies. From these mountains, rivulets – made from the melting…

Thanks to an insane February schedule and a fantastic group of clients who have me booked until April, I've found myself offering a lot of advice and editor referrals this month. The advice falls into two main categories: how to find an editor and how to choose the editor who is right for you.
How to Find an Editor
I recommend three methods - you'll likely get the best results by combining the three.
1. Put up an ad. There are lots of websites where you can place an ad for an editor. Some will charge you fees; some won't. You can try getafreelancer.com , guru.com , or elance.com to name a few, but I honestly recommend you take the easy route: craigslist.org . It's free for you and your editor, and TONS of quality freelancers regularly use craigslist listings to connect with potential clients. Beware of a few things if you do place an ad:
(a) You'll get some spam. Easy to delete.

(b) You will get LOTS of responses. Use some of the tips in Part III of this series of posts for sorting through the e-mails and picking the best of the batch.
(c) You'll likely be contacted by scam publishers and predatory fake agents. More on this later, but for now, just hit delete on any e-mail response to a craigslist ad from anyone who claims to be a publisher or agent. The end.- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog
