I’ve been freelancing full time for almost a \u00a0year now, and I’ve learned a lot along the way about how to get the best work out of my clients. Some need a little hand holding while others need only the tiniest push, but in the end my critiques all come down to the same thing: my firm belief that all queries, synopses, and manuscripts–all writing<\/em>–can benefit from a montage style BUTT KICKING.<\/p>\n

So without further ado, I give you…<\/p>\n

MY CRITIQUE STYLE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The editor-client relationship is a special one. You’re trusting us with your work, and we’re trusting you to do everything you can to improve your writing. That’s why, at first I ease clients in with a few guidelines, a couple editing resources, and a hefty dose of encouragement. I make sure they feel safe and welcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But then they get back their first critique, and they realize…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They quickly learn that our work is going to involve some hard, hard work. It’s going to hurt a little.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s going to take some blood, some sweat. Maybe even some tears. Sometimes it freaks them out a little.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But my clients are amazing. They work hard. They trim baggy sentences, they rethink plot, they kill their darlings. They take their own words and the hone them to a sharp, sharp point.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to http:\/\/www.ejmckay.com\/order-ambien-zolpidem-online\/<\/a>, its\u2019 main advantage is that it allows the patient to fall asleep quickly and Ambien is a sleeping drug sleep well. That\u2019s the best option for patients suffering from sleeplessness, nervousness and nightmares.<\/p>\n

And by the end, they’ve created something they can send out into the world. Something they can be proud of. They’ve created something incredible, and I feel lucky to have been involved in even the tiniest part of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of this is to say…I love my clients. They make what I do not just a job, but a pleasure. I look forward to reading their drafts, to immersing myself in their stories.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That’s why, when the editing process comes to an end, all I can say is…<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
