Top Frequently Asked Questions
What does an editor do?
Editors work closely with authors and illustrators performing editing tasks, from structural notes to copy editing and proofreading, managing projects through the design and production process; prioritizing your work to ensure both short and long term publishing goals and schedules are achieved with application of house style, and for book publishing companies this means from horror to romance editing, helping to acquire books of publishable quality, developing manuscripts for both print and digital publishing strategies.
A good freelance editor shouldn't have an issue providing you evidence on LinkedIn of a minimum three years editorial experience in-house and ability to demonstrate strong structural and substantive editorial skills and high level proofreading skills to maintain accuracy and consistency. They will have strong project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines; high level of literacy and strong written and verbal skills including copy-writing ability and interest in and understanding of genre print fiction, particularly the subject matter you are writing in whether that is war novels to science fiction and fantasy. The good editor has a knowledge of digital first, indie author and hybrid author publishing and market, and the North American publishing industry knowledge.
To start, copyediting and proofreading manuscripts and reports with excellent communication and interpersonal skills (both written and verbal) to tenders, proposals and marketing material, ensuring that our house style is applied. Formatting documents to ensure they meet our branding guidelines. Creating new document templates and revising existing document templates as needed (both the content and the formatting). Periodically updating the house style guide and other resources as needed. Providing advice to staff on issues relating to communication, writing, references and citations, and formatting (this may involve conducting training sessions). Engaging with a diverse team and building strong and collaborative relationships with trust and credibility. As well as managing multiple tasks with tight deadlines with the ability to work independently, under limited direction, to meet HostJane deadlines, she or he will need advanced Microsoft Word skills, including the ability to create document templates, create and apply styles, troubleshoot formatting issues, ensure documents conform with branding guidelines, and use the track changes and comments functions to convey and review edits. Thorough understanding of the Microsoft Office suite and, ideally, the Adobe Creative suite (particularly InDesign) is part of a copyeditors suite, from those with backgrounds in journalism, English teaching or professional writing and editing job roles.
