Hello,
I'm looking to hire a fantasy editor. I need someone with experience, and I'm willing to pay whatever is reasonable.
I've worked with one editor so far, and they were great at copy editing, but they weren't experienced with the genre. They also didn't know much about story.
So the question is, how to begin. I've emailed one person, and they ignored me. Is that normal?
Are really good fantasy editors like hens teeth? Should I vet them first by letting them at the first two chapters?
I don't want someone who just does their thing, and spits it back out at me with little collaboration.
Thanks
