❶ 𝐁𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 - you are enlisting the services of a professional. This means taking careful consideration of every piece of advice, even if you don't exactly agree.
❷ 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 --Don't just bring your first draft to your editor. Go through it and self edit, have others read it and make whatever corrections you can do before I see it. If you don't respect your work, why should I?
❸ 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓 - And - for the love of GOD - Do not tell me CHAT GPT has given you a list of things I can do to improve my editing. Generative AI is nowhere ready to analyse the complexities of a human's creativity. It can be used to help you get ideas, but don't use it to write your book for you. A good editor will notice and probably turn the job down.
