Editing Style
What sort of quality will you get with Angler Editing? Here's everything you need to know, from key values to real editing examples.
For those who create art with words, writing is an incredibly personal process. It is a vulnerable expression of the musings and beliefs borne in our minds and an investment of our time and emotions. At Angler Editing, this is always respected. Here, you are not only hiring an editor, but also a cheerleader!
You as the creator will always receive honest, but kind feedback in edits. The goal is to help you make your story, no matter what shape it's in, the best that it can be for its audience. Angler Editing meets this goal by following four key values, which are outlined below.
But as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Get a look at the type of edits and comments you might receive on your work with real examples of edits from past projects.
Reader centric
Readers today require compelling stories to hold their attention. Each will ask Why should I bother reading this book? Here, your readers' experience will be central through all suggestions and the material of your narrative will be tailored to what your specific audience expects and wants to see represented well.
Editing Values
Author led
An editor's job is to be a guide along the path that you, the author, chooses. Here, the edits and coaching advise with expertise, meeting you where you are and helping craft your story in a way that readers will truly value. Edits will always be suggestions aimed at making your narrative more enticing for readers.
Emotion driven
Whether fiction or non-fiction, you have a story to tell, and to sell. An effective narrative comprises interesting characters, strong themes, or a key message. Here, edits will focus on these elements, helping you create emotional impact so readers will form a connection to and be properly immersed in your story.
Logic oriented
Nothing breaks a reader's immersion quite like a lack of logical flow. Here, edits will help your narrative unfold in a manner that just makes sense. Readers will be introduced to events and concepts naturally, making them frictionless to digest and invest in.
