[Stylist] Working with an Editor

[Ann Chiappetta]

Re track changes. 
I do not use it for more than two people or it becomes very confusing. One of my past editors agreed to work with me on the ms separately  . My book prep editor and I use notes within the text for long pieces and email to discuss anything else and she inserts the changes into her version of the ms. Once this is done, she sends it to me and I read it for final comments and approval.

Hello stylist,

I have an initial offer of publication (contract not signed yet) on my science fiction novel by an independent science fiction press. I’m extremely excited!

I’m trying to get a poll of other blind authors and how they work with their editors. Most sighted people are suggesting track changes, but I have very good tech skills and find it to be inefficient and cumbersome on any platform I try. So, with that said, what are your alternative techniques for getting the work done? I have a few ideas but wish to submit a few to the publisher and see if the editor there would take any of them.

In addition, if you have gone through a traditional  press and have signed a publishing contract, pleas email me off-list. It has been recommended that I find an attorney well-versed in publishing contracts to review it before I sign anything and to make sure I understand the terms. However, google is failing me miserably. The proceedings would take place in the state of Colorado.

Thanks all for tips, and I’ll keep you apprised of how this goes, Chelsea _______________________________________________
