Bad Takes from the Internet— When (not) to Hire an Editor: Write@YA Episode 13

Update: 2019-03-29

Description

Our next episode in “Bad Takes from the Internet” looks more closely at the idea that hiring a freelance editor before you query will get you requests for fulls and offers of representation.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

As in all things from the Internet, there’s nuance here: there are good editors — and good times to hire them. And then there are lemons, the people and experiences that leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Join us this week as we wade through good advice and bad advice, and try to make a little lemonade.
