FOR WRITERS
Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Kari Trenten:
“If you’re self publishing, what are the first steps to finding a good cover artist and formatter?”
I’d expand this to editor as well. :)

I think word of mouth works best, because you can look at the work and get a feel for whether it is something that appeals to you. As an editor, I get inquiries from authors who notice how well one of my client’s stories is doing (and thankfully my authors are happy to recommend me!). As a reader, I tend to notice when things AREN’T working, so I know who to steer clear of. Discussing with your colleagues the positives and negatives of their experience with a particular freelancer is probably the best way to research.
Thank you for the advice, ELF!
