Being professional and treating your product (aka book) the best chance to succeed is a big part of what makes a career author. Today, J. and Zach discuss the importance of why you need a professional editor and more:
- The danger of using too many saidisms in your work
- Why repetition is important if you really want to learn something
- How you can use an action to establish who’s speaking in a more effective way
- A common dialogue mistake that marks you as a beginner writer
- Why J. and Zach believe strong storytelling is about learning how to tell an effective story in the smallest number of words possible
- Why you need a professional editor if you’re going to publish a book + why the best authors employ more than one editor
- The different types of editing and what order you should pursue them in
- Where to look for professional editors
- How to choose the best editors for your work – do they need to have experience working with authors in your genre?
- Yes, grammar is absolutely still important
