Many writers are all too eager to get their writing straight to print and rush their work too quickly. It’s important to consider editing your work before seeing a professional editor. Below are a list of things to check for:
Grammatical errors
Unorganized parts of your manuscript.
Missing words
Misused punctuation
Remember:
A lot of editors deny publishing someone's work simply because it is too sloppy, so make sure your work is free of the mistakes listed above and is well organized for reading.
