Who Needs an Editor and Why?

Want to write something more effectively? Then you need an editor. Almost anything that you write can be enhanced with the help of an editor. Editors will not only make your writing grammatically accurate they can also add value with their insights.

I’m a competent writer, so do I need an editor?

Yes, you do. The reason for this is simple enough. Even experienced professionals find it difficult to be objective about their own work. So they don’t always see the flaws in their writing. Writers who edit their own work are often like people who are trying to find a black cat in a dark room. A good editor can shed some light on their errors.

So how does the editor help?

Whether you’re writing a business proposal, a novel, or Web copy, your words should effectively communicate all that you wish to convey. A responsible editor-
• Irons out the glitches in your writing and makes it clear and readable.
• Attends to the vital but time-consuming process of fine-tuning your content and grammar without significantly altering the style.
• Suggests additions or improvements to add value to the article

But what exactly does the editor do?

Editors-
• assess and critique documents
• suggest revisions
• rewrite or repackage content to suit current trends
• reuse or recycle content more effectively to increase marketability
• proofread manuscripts and documents
• act as mentors to writers
• do light or substantive editing

What’s the difference between light and substantive editing?

Light editing involves-
• checking language usage (spelling, grammar, etc.)
• checking for consistency and clarity of style
• suggesting improvements

Substantive editing involves-
• all of the above
• proofreading
• reworking content within the given framework
• revising and rewriting

But Chillibreeze operates from India where English is not the first language. Is India really a good place to outsource something as language-sensitive as editing?

Yes! For decades, Indians have studied English…and thought and communicated in English too! They have as great an affinity for the language as its native speakers.. Outsourcing editing to India is a win-win situation because-
• India has an abundance of educated and talented people, fluent in English, who have the required expertise and experience
• India’s telecom infrastructure meets international standards, so communication is easy
• You get great quality at a cost-effective price
