• Be open to suggestions. While the final product is yours, don’t be so attached to your draft that you will override all edits.
• Provide several means of contact to your editor.
• Don’t micromanage. Checking in on daily progress will only slow down the process.
• Send your work and payments to your editor at the agreed-upon time. If you are likely to miss a deadline, let us know ahead of time. Remember that this is a professional arrangement. Pay the correct amounts on the dates specified in the editing agreement. Don’t delay payment dates or alter payment amounts.
