Why Do I Need an Editor?
Many authors ask themselves this question. Particularly if they’ve been part of a writing group and have had peer feedback on their manuscript. But an editor is much more than a peer reader. The critique and advice an editor offers is valuable because she/he can identify what the work needs.
A Wealth of Experience
Alexandra Nahlous has worked on an enormous range of commercial fiction, literary fiction, Young Adult and junior fiction and non-fiction. From Liane Moriarty’s The Husband’s Secret to Judy Nunn’s Khaki Town, Helen Sheuerer’s The Oremere Chronicles trilogy and much more.
