Really enjoyed this! I've been working for a small homesteading media company for 1.5 years in the books department (no previous book publishing experience), and your list is a common theme in our nonfiction books as well. I'm happy being a proofreader, not an editor, but lists like these help me better understand editors and the work they do!
Glad to be in touch. Often people think all editors do the same thing, look for typos! My email is jsilvaredmond at gmail.com if you want to send me some info. I'll definitely keep it for future jobs.
Excellent advice, Jen.
And thanks for the restack!
Thank you!
Passing this along to some writer friends who are deep in the process, thanks!!
Sharing really is caring, in this case. 😃

Oh, wonderful! The company I work for is called Homestead Living, so you should have an email in your inbox from felicity at homesteadliving dot com.
Bueno!
Such an excellent post, step by step, with examples. I'm so glad you're my editor!!
I'm glad too, and even more glad we became friends.
Yes yes yes!!
Well said - and worth sharing!
Love these practical and impactful tips! Will be saving this so I can follow these steps while revising my memoir. Thank you!
Great info, well said. Thanks, Jenny. And those photos! That water! (sigh)
