Editing Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Paranormal Romance

by

Kerry Adrienne

Thanks for allowing me to stop by and chat about editing! I’ve been a freelance editor for twenty years and recently took on an Associate Editor’s position at Entangled Publishing. I’d like to talk a little today about the process I use when editing a manuscript. If you yell at the tv when you hear info-dumping or throw books when you read character inconsistencies, then you have editorial tendencies. Most editors love untangling plot issues, smacking characters into shape, and grooming setting.  (No, editors are not paper-eating trolls with red pens and beady eyes. Well, maybe the beady eyes part - I definitely need reading glasses now.)

What happens after a manuscript is accepted and the contract is signed? (Associate Editors don’t acquire manuscripts) First, the book is assigned to an editor (me!) with a Senior Editor overseeing. The author and I are introduced and I get to read the manuscript for the first time. This read is for an overall view (no editing at this point, though I would be lying if I said I didn’t have at least paper and a pen to take notes). After I finish, I call the author and chat about the book. We’ll talk about general stuff : what’s the series arc (if there is a series)? Which character do you like most? (Why? And what about character “x”?) Wow, how did you research that love scene? (just kidding, I don’t ask that. Well, maybe I did, once.)

Next, I do a “first pass” read/edit. I read through the manuscript again and note any plot points that need to be fixed (he would NO WAY do that!), characterization (what? Did she go to the salon? Her hair was NOT pink in chapter 1), setting/world-building (you have large dinosaurs roaming the meadow outside town – where’s the massive poop?). Sometimes I will mark the manuscript at this point, sometimes I just include all of the issues and questions in an editorial letter to the author (these letters can range from 3-15+ pages). I also note all the things I LOVE about the manuscript. I tend to get pretty gushy about those things that make the book fabulous, unique and special. I’ll send the letter to my Senior Editor for approval and then to the author with a deadline (usually a month, but it can vary) for returning the edits.

When the manuscript comes back to me (rtf only! Track changes for all editing!), I get my coffee (lots and lots of it), put on some Green Day, and dig in. (ok, sometimes I will listen to something else like Adam Lambert, Loreena McKennitt, the Cure, Depeche Mode… depending on my mood. If I have Marilyn Manson on – I don’t edit. Wouldn’t be pretty. I save MM for when I am doing housework.) First, I look at the changes the author made. After that I start with page one and go sentence by sentence – looking for: inconsistencies, places to raise the stakes, characterization, extraneous dialogue, missing setting, things to move (rarely will I get a manuscript that starts in the correct place), etc.  If I see grammatical mistakes or misspellings, I’ll mark them – but I am focused on the meat of the manuscript at this stage.

I write another editorial letter. (I cringe when I see the amount of stuff I have marked). I take a deep breath, drink wine, and send the letter – knowing I did my job to squeeze the best possible book from the author. I talk changes -- the author writes. Often, the writer is too close to the manuscript to see things that could be stronger – and it is my job to mark those places. By this time, the author and I have a good rapport – we are both excited about the book and both trying our absolute hardest to make the book the best it can be. We are a machine, and we are cranking!

Nothing like getting the manuscript back after the second pass letter and reading through the fantastic changes the author has made! If I am lucky, there are very few things that need changes after that pass. The reality is, we often need some intermediate work - but that is ok. We scrub and polish. The third pass is usually fairly straightforward. I read the manuscript through again (this is probably the 5^th or 6^th time). Then I send the book to my Senior Editor and she reads it to see if the author and I missed anything. If all goes well, the book heads to copyediting where the nitty-gritty grammar stuff gets checked. During this time, the author and I will have worked on a back of the book blurb and the author will have submitted a cover art form detailing things she’d like to see on the book.

Here’s my plea:  If you have a science fiction romance manuscript – please consider submitting to Entangled! I’d love to edit some gritty hard sci-fi soon.  You can find Entangled on the web here: www.entangledpublishing.com
