AT FIRST I THOUGHT, MY GOD, THIS EDITOR IS GOING TO MAKE ME RE-WRITE THE WHOLE BOOK!

I took a call the other day from an author who wanted to tell me how much he loved the editor we assigned him. He said , “At first I thought, my God, this editor is going to make me re-write the whole book!” It didn’t’ happen that way but, the author told me, what the editor did was help him make his book so much better than it would have been. That book is now in the design process and its author is going have far more confidence in it because his editor took the time to get him to do what is right.

Fast and easy! You’ll notice a lot of self publishers touting ‘fast and easy’ as one of their top selling points. Really? We’ve always wondered why authors would be impressed with this fast and easy stuff. Okay, maybe easy. After all, who would want to work with a difficult editor or a designer who doesn’t get your vision. Unless of course that vision is leading you in the wrong direction. Think. How much did you benefit from those ‘easy’ teachers—the ones who didn’t critique or ask much of you.

We look at it this way: If you’re paying us to edit and design your book, we are going to do the best, most professional job we can. Of course we’re going to be respectful of your point of view, your wishes, your timetable. But we are going to make sure you are given the best advice.

Editing isn’t just checking spelling and grammar, and book design isn’t just plugging a manuscript into a computer program. Both of these disciplines take skill, talent and education. And yes, sometimes they do take more time that you may have estimated.
Why do you think commercial publishers take the better part of a year and sometimes longer to produce a book? When you do it right, when you give it thought, when you check and re-check, when you want it as close to perfect as possible—it takes time.
When any business promotes the idea of fast and easy as their central attribute, I’d be worried that their motive has more to do with taking your money quickly and moving on to the next bloke.

Now let me say this in big bold letters—WE PUBLISH OUR BOOKS AS EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE—NO WASTED TIME! But we do live by the old printer’s adage, There’s never enough time to do it right but always time to do it over.
