Thanks, Jamie. This is worth stickying. If anyone comes upon other editor blogs, please add to the list.

I was looking for something like this the other day. Thanks!

I like Lou Anders too.

How about Redlines and Deadlines http://redlinesanddeadlines.blogspot.com/ ?

 

[Irysangel]

Editorial Ass - http://editorialass.blogspot.com

She's very funny and smart. I cannot say enough good things about her blog.

 

[xcomplex]

Does anyone here know of The Pin? She is great, helped me out a ton with my proposal!
www.pinpointediting.blogspot.com
I actually told her about this forum, so I think she is joining and finally starting to go online because I know her through a network of friends, lol.

And here's Pat McNees' Writers and Editors: http://www.writersandeditors.com/index.htm

 

[John Marlow]

Good post! Personally, I'm rather fond of the

Self Editing Blog
http://selfeditingblog.com/

 

[missesdash]

http://queryquagmire.tumblr.com/

I just found this one.

 

[skink]

I recommend these Australian sites:

slushpilehell.tumblr.com

callmyagent.blogspot.com.au

queryshark.blogspot.com.au

 

[BubbleCow]

Our blog providing editing and writing help is here.

callmyagent.blogspot.com.au

queryshark.blogspot.com.au

These look excellent, but unfortunately they are agent blogs, and this list is for editor blogs. I would encourage you to submit them to the other list.

Our blog providing editing and writing help is here.

Unfortunately, this appears to be a promotional blog rather than an editor blog. If I am mistaken, please point me to where I can see that it is an editor blog.

 

[BubbleCow]

Sorry I am a little confused... Why is our blog classed as 'promotional'? We are editors providing tips for writers? Are not all blogs essentially promotional? Surely a post asking for copy editors must class us as an editor blog

 

[Old Hack]

The difference is that as far as I'm aware, the other blogs all belong to people who work as editors at publishing houses, and not to people who offer editorial services in exchange for a fee. Linking to your website in this context could be seen as touting for business, and as such is not allowed here at AW.

The Pin

• Blog fairly inactive (2010) Editing page is at http://www.pinpointediting.blogspot.com/p/editing.html

Lynn Price

• Doesn't appear to be an editor and non-fiction topics only -- query help

Query Quagmire

• Couldn't find editing here. More of an agent's site where she comments on queries.

Redlines and Deadlines (Mackenzie Walton, Mary Altman, Meghan Miller, Nick Conrad, Raelene Gorlinsky, Briana St. James, Donna Hoard and Helen Woodall)

• Doesn't appear to offer editing services, but has editing category at http://redlinesanddeadlines.blogspot.com/search/label/Editing

Ray Rhamey

• Try http://www.floggingthequill.com/flogging_the_quill/editing/ instead.

"Preditors and Editors" is also worth a look as they list many editing services and comment on them: http://pred-ed.com/peesla.htm

I'm quite fond of this post, thanks for setting it up.

 

[Sloane]

I edit professionally. My blog is http://lichencraig.blogspot.com I try to post a lot of articles with tips for all writing levels. It's pretty popular with writers.

 

[CaoPaux]

I edit professionally.

What commercial publishers have you edited for?

 

[HistorySleuth]

I think to have a list like this is a great idea, but are we just looking for blogs run by editors or is it to find quality editors? I looked at Evil Editor for example, then clicked over to her site Hannah Rogers Literary Agency. It says it's new. I clicked on their books. Just by the covers I wouldn't bother.

It's been a while since Sloane was here but I just had a look at that blog and it's full of errors. Gah.

Editors don't always control the covers their authors' books are given. And I think the Hannah Rogers agency is a satire. Not sure, do check, etc.

Definitely a satire site. From the Submissions page:

Send only your first sentence. After I read your sentence, I might write back saying "Send me the rest of your novel!" So make it a good sentence. If your first sentence isn't good, send a better sentence. If none of your sentences is good, send a sentence from someone else's book.

 

[HistorySleuth]

I guess the books must be too then, right? Honestly, with so much crap out there today and instant I'll-just-slap-up-a-website-and-be-an-agent! or publisher it's hard to tell. I didn't bother to read the submission page.

Shameless self-promotion: Eric Anderson at Brutally Honest Editing: http://brutallyhonestediting.com

Tell us more about yourself, BHEditing. Where have you worked? Who was your mentor? What training have you had as an editor, what books have you worked on, what's your favourite style guide?
