Mistrust must be contagious :) I think a good freelance editor is like having a coach. You don't want them telling you what to do with line edits, but you want them to keep you going in the right direction. Even olympiads have a coach. :) Of course, there are coaches, and then there are coaches. The right coach is an ideal reader/ultimate crit partner, if you will. We all have crit partners, I hope.Carolyn Abiadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567399129586443513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209800503497208215.post-56505658981732933062011-01-11T06:23:53.871-08:002011-01-11T06:23:53.871-08:00Yikes.

I had to explain to my Mother that paying somebody to edit my work is like cheating; I should be able to do it on my own, make it my best before an agent/editor sees it. THEN I would trust both said agent/editor with any editorial suggestions.Samantha Véranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446488761214047647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209800503497208215.post-86492910412210562032011-01-10T21:31:06.167-08:002011-01-10T21:31:06.167-08:00It sounds like my life at your in-laws.

Though now that I think about it, I did hire a woman in California to critique a film script for me a few years ago, and she did an excellent job. I keep thinking about working on her suggestions; I'd write it first as a story, no frills, no fancy descriptive passages, and then turn it into a script. I was pleased with her "service." So, that is one case of a good result.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209800503497208215.post-48353489479949439392011-01-10T15:51:46.735-08:002011-01-10T15:51:46.735-08:00I know what you mean about scheduling posts ahead ...I know what you mean about scheduling posts ahead of time.
