We want to thank GreenPen Editing for donating an hour-long consultation on one of two topics: Types of Editing or Worldbuilding & Timelines to our raffle!
About GreenPen Editing:
Bailey Harrington of GreenPen Editing is a line editor, copy editor, and proofreader based in the Pacific Northwest. When she isn’t editing, she can usually be found reading a book, “buying irresponsible numbers of books,” or trying to figure out how to bend time and space to fit more books on the same number of shelves.
At GreenPen Editing, she works with publishers, independent authors, and game designers in a range of genres. She particularly enjoy working on and reading speculative fiction, narrative nonfiction, and experimental books.
More about their prize offering:
“Types of Editing
We will go over the different kinds of editing, what they entail, and when they occur; what information prospective editors need; and how to find someone who is a good fit for the author/project. You will come out of this with an understanding of the terminology editors use to describe their work and how to make sure both parties’ expectations are clear.
Worldbuilding & Timelines
We will discuss how to flesh out a world and address the passage of time without overwhelming the reader or creating inconsistencies. I’ll describe my strategies for ensuring internal consistency when I copyedit books with complex timelines or extensive worldbuilding. We’ll also talk about what the author can do to avoid introducing inconsistencies in the first place and help the copy editor detect any that make it into the later stages of the manuscript.”
