Editing a piece of writing is like giving it a fine haircut. It sharpens it and brings out its best features.
If your work must be edited, then it must be done right.
Most times, you don’t get to see your mistakes when you are doing it by yourself. This is because you have every part of the writeup enmeshed in your brain. The end result of this is a writing that is not properly edited.
Editing goes beyond just spotting grammatical errors. There is line editing to be done. The sentence structure must be properly looked at. Do you really write what you meant to say? Are your sentence constructions perfectly crafted to suit the theme of your discourse?
There is nothing as disgraceful as publishing a badly edited work. This is because it is your name that will bear the smear of such an untidy job. This can make readers avoid any other work coming from your stables.
If your work must scale through the hurdles of rejection, then it must be done rightly. It must pass through experienced editors who know their onions. The mistake most writers make is that they think the more expensive the editor’s fee, the grandier the kind of job you get. This is not always the case. As a writer, sourcing for editors should be done bearing in mind the track record of such an editing firm. What are they known for? Are they known for excellent job deliverables? How can you get the best when you are not looking in the right place?
