About Linda Gilden’s Editing

People sometimes think when they hear the word “editor,” you are talking about a really harsh person who will chop your work to pieces. Not so with Linda Gilden.

Linda studies hard to keep up with the current rules of punctuation. She is familiar with Chicago Manual of Style and knows how to read publishers’ guidelines and style sheets. She likes nothing better than to help writers make their manuscripts better by finding misplaced commas, correcting passive voice to active voice, keeping the flow of the story moving, and so much more.

When a writer is getting started and first submits manuscripts to publishers, he or she often sends manuscripts with weaknesses that identify the work as that of a new writer. Linda can point out those mistakes and help you correct them in a way that will take your work more quickly through the process. Editing by a professional will make your work stand out from other submissions. And if you learn from your editor, you will find yourself begin to practice self-editing as you work.
