I even laughed at a few. But... for "Various Professional Editors (Editing)", an awful lot of those listed are what we as editors are supposed to be doing for our clients. That's why they need us. That's why they hire us.<br /><br />The Working with Clients portion is right on target. It has made me aware that I need to do a better job of communicating my expectations. Since I love to work with first-time clients, the addition of new portions and rewriting portions as we go is part of the deal. My goal is always to help the writer produce the best book he possibly can. If the added word count is extensive, we revisit pricing.Libby Gontarzhttp://www.libbygontarz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216087585023599769.post-34070670050399728402016-06-20T13:22:39.010-04:002016-06-20T13:22:39.010-04:00Just fixed it. :)Just fixed it. :)Andrea Merrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886398056031430593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216087585023599769.post-62599718669372772052016-06-20T12:15:17.670-04:002016-06-20T12:15:17.670-04:00LOL ... you're absolutely right.
