    Jenny Hubert

    My name is Jenny Hubert, and I gained most of my experience writing, editing, and critiquing through my college education. In 2018, I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s in communications and writing with a minor in literature. In addition to my degree, I also took two editing certification courses to ensure my editing knowledge was up to date, and I plan to enroll in more as the years progress. My niche in book editing is fantasy, but I also love editing contemporary, science fiction, and historical fiction. When I’m not editing, you can find me reading. At this time, my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice, but I also adore anything written by Agatha Christie. When I’m not reading, I’m writing. I’m planning on releasing a contemporary fiction novel within the next year as well as some short stories with dystopian and mythical themes.

      Introduction

      Apotential client of mine suspected that her previous book editor missed a lot of mistakes. She knew this because her friend, who claimed she was rather knowledgeable about grammar, pointed out the errors and fixed them. This author asked if I could read the first chapter and see if her editor and her friend combined caught all the errors. I agreed to look.

      The new author wasn’t happy with how many mistakes I found. In that three-thousand-word chapter, I found twenty-one grammar mistakes, including typos, capitalization errors, and misspellings. No editor is perfect, so I would’ve suggested for the woman to publish this book if I found one or two mistakes. But if this chapter had so many errors, I could only imagine what the rest of the book looked like. Unfortunately, I had to recommend that she cut her losses and hire a second editor (who did not end up being me), which meant she would miss the release date of her novel.

      Sometimes, I’m not the first editor my clients have hired. Like this potential client, many new authors will go with the cheaper option or overpay for an editor who simply runs their content through Grammarly and returns it. Unfortunately, not every author has the funds to hire another editor after they’ve received a poor-quality product. Even though they see errors, they have no choice but to publish it.

      Most of the time, however, I’m working with authors who are at the beginning of their writing journey. They’ve written their first book, perhaps the first of a trilogy, and they want to work with an editor for the long haul. Though, they have no idea where to start. What type of edits do they need? How do they weed out the bad editors from the good? Which editor is the best fit for their novel, and how do they find them?

      Perhaps you were interested in this book because you’re tired of hiring editors who don’t deliver great results, or maybe you’re new to the process and don’t know how to research editors and approach them. No matter where you’re at in your book-writing journey, you deserve to find the right editor on the first try. You’ve put so much effort into writing and rewriting your draft, so this should be the easy part. You should be able to relax after you hand over your manuscript, not constantly wonder if you made
