There is nothing stating that if you are not satisfied they will force you to sign an NDA before offering any solutions. The... more

Interview: Why Self-Editing Matters and How to Strengthen Your Manuscript Before Hiring an Editor, with Howard Lovy and Katie Chambers

Q: How should authors handle AI in the self-editing process?

AI is a tool to aid self-editing, not a replacement for the author's voice; prompts should guide improvements and help identify issues, rather than producing wholesale rewritten chapters.

Interview: Why Self-Editing Matters and How to Strengthen Your Manuscript Before Hiring an Editor, with Howard Lovy and Katie Chambers

Q: What practical techniques can authors use right away to improve their manuscripts?

Use a multi-pass system, focus on two topics per pass, read out loud or have AI read aloud for certain topics, and use targeted searches for crutch words and repetition to guide focused improvements.
