Please exercise due diligence in selecting an editor. Editors are not one-size-fits-all. Editing is an individual, subjective skill. Fit between author and editor is important to success. An author should feel comfortable with and trust the working style, knowledge, and advice of their editor. Face-to-face meetings may help establish whether there are rapport and a good fit. Zoom, FaceTime, phone calls, and emails also suffice. Investment in these early contacts reduces confusion, unhappiness, or worse later in the process.
Dented Press Editing specializes in helping to shape adult narrative nonfiction (especially memoir and autobiography), general adult nonfiction (particularly nature/ ecology/ environment, law, social sciences, critical discourse analysis, journalism), and adult literary fiction (especially historical fiction but not romance). Dented Press Editing is open to other genres as well, particularly the above categories aimed toward a YA or children’s audience.
