Make it personal without making it generic
Let the writer select an editor whose experience matches the essay's form, subject, and cultural context.
Presentation
Give a blank editorial cover sheet listing draft chosen by you, goals chosen by you, and publication decision always yours.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- The work can remain digital with no required printout or proprietary platform.
- Skill
- The editor should have relevant experience and define the difference between developmental, line, and copy editing.
- Maintenance
- Agree on file retention and deletion, and deliver comments in an editable, accessible format.
- Accessibility
- Offer screen-reader-compatible comments, plain-language summaries, flexible call format, and processing time before discussion.
- Sustainability
- Use digital delivery unless the writer prefers paper and limit duplicated versions.
- Timing
- Book around the writer's readiness and the editor's real turnaround rather than setting Christmas as a revision deadline.
