Thanks, Karen....Insight from a professional editor! Thanks, Karen. Some writers may simply not be able to edit or proof their own work. Some of us tend to see typos, and for some reason other people don't. And some people may not have access to a good critique group. Obviously these people need a professional editor that much more. But it definitely makes for a smoother relationship with the professional if your work has already been edited and proofed first to some extent. Of course, you don't want to polish so much that you've wasted time fixing every typo if you're then going to get a big picture content edit.Kris Bockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217265282250089583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296041276140635168.post-43025580614691774972015-08-28T04:37:32.601-06:002015-08-28T04:37:32.601-06:00Excellent advice as usual, Chris.

A writer should go through the few steps you mention, before asking for professional help. I don't like to waste my time on fixing things the writer/critique group should have found. Karen R.
