Hi All. I need some advice. My WIP first draft will be finished in a couple of weeks. I'll then work on the revision. After that I will seek an editor - copy or content. Occurs to me that I need to find one that specializes in my genre - espionage/thriller. In other words, I probably would not seek an editor who writes and/or edits romance, YA, etc.
I had a 15 minute one-on-one with a literary agent recently at a writers conference and right off the bat she said, rather disdainfully, that she did not read "espionage, CIA kind of stuff". Kind of a waste for me. (her profile said that she was looking for multicultural thrillers. Go figure that out.)
Back to my question. Is there a directory anywhere that lists freelance editors by genre? Can anyone here recommend a great editor for my genre?
Thanks.
