Join editor Chelsea Burk in this discussion on how an editor can be a great resource to help a writer achieve the next step for their writing. In this talk, we will explore why a writer might want to hire an editor, what to expect when working with an editor, and how to choose the right editor who will forge a creative partnership to support the writer’s unique voice, vision, and goal.
