How to hire a great freelance Editor

Editing is defined as the ‘preparation of material for publication by correcting, condensing, modifying or otherwise adapting it’. This particular definition refers more specifically to written content, but the same theory applies regardless of the editing channel.
Editing occurs during the final stages of compilation before publication, distribution or deployment of written or graphical content. The importance of high-quality editing cannot be overstated. Ensuring information flows crisply, accurately, is easy to understand and free from glaring errors is of utmost importance. Substandard work that is released can irreversibly damage the integrity of the work as well as a publisher’s or individual reputation.
Working as an editor, whether in video editing, copywriting, proofreading, websites, graphics or books requires a diversity of skills. Prowess in the following areas is particularly useful when forging a career in editing, or if you are searching for a high-quality editor:
Strong grammar - As an editor, other people’s errors become your responsibility. The editing individual often plays final gatekeeper ensuring no grammatical or related errors slip through to production. While somewhat less critical in digital content, removing errors upfront staves off potential embarrassment in the public arena.
Ability to write effectively - Editors need to ensure that a piece of content flows smoothly and reads impeccably. Writing is a key skill of a successful editor to enable careful modification that improves readability.
A careful eye - Strong attention to detail and expertise in optimizing assignments is obligatory.
Design strength - If you operate in an editing niche where design is a key deliverable, then it is critical you have robust skills and experience in design.
Confidence bordering on ruthlessness - The people whose work you critique will not always sympathize with your views. Confidence in your ability and the ability to clearly communicate added value is immeasurable when reviewing commissioned work.
If you are searching for a skilled person to complete an editing job or project, then a freelance editor might be just what you need. Freelancers work on a project specific basis and are typically highly efficient and incentivized to provide a service that exceeds expectations.
