Full description
In this uncut interview, we chat to Commissioning Editor at Trapeze Orion Non-fiction on how a book is copyedited and proofread before publication.
We learn about how publishers use freelance editors to spot consistency errors, typos and mistakes. We see an example of how an editor works on a manuscript using track changes for the author to check through. We also learn about how much control an author has during this stage and when the book is declared ‘ready’!
