Hello is Peter here a game from writerslife.org
and coming up today how to handle
editorial feedback sending your
manuscripts off to an editor can be
nerve-racking even though you may be
paying them for their services getting
feedback can be difficult when you've
spent so long trying to make your book
as good a bidding can be an editor's job
is to find mistakes not just regarding
spelling grammar and punctuation but
also with regards to how your story
works overall of course you are in
charge because you are paying so if you
pay an editor to review your book it's
up to you to direct them about what kind
of feedback you want just remember
however there having a professional
editor review your work before you send
it to agents and publishers makes a
massive difference in terms of your
chances of success if you choose to self
publish a professional editor can ensure
your book goes on sale being the best
version it can possibly be
so how can you prepare yourself for
editorial feedback and learn how to
handle it all professionally first don't
panic when you first look at the changes
and editors made there may be a lot of
them this may make you feel utterly
disheartened or completely outraged but
either way the key is not to freak out
there may be hundreds even thousands of
edits to your manuscript a lot of these
however will be minor amendments a comma
here a formatting change there
and are therefore nothing to worry about
additional edits may require more time
to look over and absorb but remember
edits don't mean your manuscript was
awful to start with many excellent books
need a considerable amount of editing
before they hit the shelves and is
something all writers must go through to
make their book amazing next be thorough
take your time to go through every edit
and consider whether you want to accept
it or reject it don't rush this at first
you may feel wounded by some of the
suggested changes and your natural
reaction may be to refuse them however
this might not be what is best for your
book so try to stay calm and be as
objective as you possibly can be saying
that you also don't have to accept every
suggestion an editor has made it's your
story after all just be sure you are
clear in your reasons for doing so and
make sure it's not just your ego getting
in the way next any questions if you
aren't sure why a particular edit hasn't
been made get in touch with your editor
for clarification doing so can help you
get a better understanding and insight
into their thinking which will reassure
you that they know what they are talking
about and have done an excellent job
next proofread wants more once you have
accepted or rejected the changes made by
your editor it's a good idea to have a
final read-through of your manuscript to
make sure everything is as it should be
so reading through one more time will
make doubly sure your - script is
perfect and ready to be shared with the
world and next celebrate working through
your edits and manuscripts is one of the
very last stages of finalizing your book
doing so takes time effort and a cool
head it's not easy to let someone else
get
hands on your work but once you've done
this you can celebrate your achievement
and don't forget if you're struggling to
write or finish your book our free
writer's toolkit can help with it you'll
learn how to overcome procrastination
get organized stay focused find time to
write and finally get your book
published to get access now while it's
still available simply go to
 
that's it for that be sure to give us a
thumbs up my name is Peter and I'll see
you again soon bye for now
