I finally finished editing a paranormal book by AJ Mullican, and I truly enjoyed her work.
Editing with MS Word, as I did with AJ’s book, is a simple process using the “Review” tab. I could write notes in the margins and track important changes. Now that I’ve returned the book to her via email, she can go into the manuscript and easily find my changes. To do her own editing, all she has to do it go into the “Review” tab and either “Accept” or “Decline” my edits. Or she can make her own changes if she wishes. There is also an option whereby she can skip to the “Next” change and think on what she might want to do, or she can return to the “Previous” change if she comes up with a different way to approach the editing.
Had AJ wanted me to do so, I could have formatted her manuscript any way she wanted while I was editing it. This is something I can do at no extra cost since it takes so little time in most cases.
Anyone who would like editing of their books by me, a freelance editor of over 30 years, will find that I have very reasonable prices and will give an honest assessment at the end of each editing that I do. If I edit on MS Word, the assessment will be given within the manuscript as I go along.
Good luck, AJ Mullican, with your submissions to the editors at publishing houses.
