If you're looking for an editor right now, this is an important time for you. Maybe you've finally written that novel that's been keeping your imagination up at night. Maybe your small business has a website that's in need of polishing, or your church is ready to tell the community about its ministries in a newspaper article. Maybe you've poured years of energy into gaining expertise in your field and it's time to put the finishing touches on your dissertation or thesis.

Turning over your writing to an editor can be intimidating, especially if you're an aspiring novelist. It's normal to feel protective of the words that have come to mean so much to you.  Watching an editor analyze the decisions you've made, from commas to character arcs, can feel a little bit like handing over your baby to a complete stranger!

But the fact that you're hiring a freelance editor shows that you care enough about your writing to bring it to the next level—to make it the very best it can be.  A good editor will work toward the vision you have for your writing, helping you refine your text until that vision shines through to your audience with crystal clarity. Yes, we're also perfectionists who love those nitty-gritty rules of grammar and punctuation, but an editor's primary goal should be to help you bring your writing to life in every way—maybe even in ways you haven't thought of yet.
