Show the professional judgement

An independent editor can use Tap Tap Go to describe the kinds of manuscripts or publications they work with and the editorial contribution they make. A sample can show structure, pacing or argument development, with an explanation of the reader’s needs. This gives a prospective client a clearer picture than a broad promise to make writing better.

Prepare an informed conversation

Separate developmental editing, line-level work and production responsibilities where relevant. Use original or permissioned examples, and avoid exposing a writer’s unpublished material. A short guide can explain what to bring to an introductory conversation: audience, purpose, stage and concerns. The profile supports an informed discussion of fit while preserving the author’s ownership of the work and the need to agree a specific scope.

Imagine this

Hypothetical scenario

Imagine an editor meeting the author of a long-form essay. The profile shows an original structural example and preparation questions, helping the author explain where the draft feels uncertain before sharing it.

Make it practical.
