About Me
- JBarWriter
- I belong to this fantastic writer’s group called Sweet Hearts of the Rodeo and the group can be found at Writers University, which I have been a lifelong member since the late 90’s. This is an intense study group that involves the reading and discussion of short stories as well as articles and books on craft. It is not for beginners. The focus is on literary and mainstream short stories, and the work requires a commitment of many hours a week. Word count is 1,500 to 6,500.

ReplyDeleteYou've got the jump on twitter with this one. I read it here, first, then just got a tweet about this a day or so ago. GREAT link! I don't think many people understand the breakdown of job responsibilities when it comes to editing services. The only reason I discovered this was because someone in my WVU Web site class was building a website to offer editing services.
I never realized that there are differences in proofreading, editing, and beta reading. Nor did I think about the fact that while some editing services might excel at dealing with grammar and structure issues, they might not be the service to use for a particular genre of writing. This isn't a "one-fits-all" service. Right now, I'm "shopping" around for an edit service. I haven't decided to use one, but I'm thinking I might put out three short stories to a service and see what I get for my money. I have a strong critique group, I'm thinking of something more refined, like scene cohesion, character & setting balance...things that lie further under the surface than basic grammar.
Good one. I'm printing it out.
I hope you and your husband are well. Miss you at the "Sweethearts" Club!
