Welcome back for another installment of Ask TON. Here’s our latest question:
I’ve been a journalist for nearly a decade, but just recently went freelance. The first two stories I’ve had accepted, both about 1,500 words long, went through several rounds of editing over the course of several days. While I benefited from this process and my stories came out stronger because of it, I’m worried. Is this process normal? I’ve been commissioned to do a 3,000-word magazine story, and I’m seriously contemplating getting a professional editor to look at it before I submit it. I’d appreciate your advice.
