As a freelance editor, I work with all kinds of different writers-from those racing to make the tight publishing timelines set by their publishers to those who are just starting off on their journey.
Sometimes I'm the very first person a writer has ever shown their manuscript to.
Sometimes I'm the first person they've ever shown their writing to at all.
And if there's one question I get asked by newer writers more than any other, it's this: Based on what you're seeing here, should I bother to pursue this?
Or, to put it another way: Do I have what it takes to succeed as writer?
