More advice for someone new to DMS…
“Guidelines. Take them seriously. Understand the formats, know the process, practice the voice, appreciate the sourcing requirements, check the AP Stylebook. Following the guidelines closely will save a writer endless grief and rewrites, and will improve a copyeditor's reviews.” – Mary Kay Linge, Copy Editor
“Expect a learning curve and be grateful when you get feedback from CEs. All writers are edited.” – Wendy Gould, Writer
“Take your time and try not to do too much at once. When I began titling I was making anywhere from $4 to $6 per hour. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. When you get an audit, take it to heart and fix those mistakes without getting down on yourself. Audits are there to help you improve.” – Kim Kirsch, Titler
