The Human Touch of an Editor
Elevating your writing through human connection. I offer editing expertise and coaching for writers at all levels, helping prepare your manuscript for publication.
While AI offers powerful writing tools, handling mechanics and basic cleanup of manuscripts, it lacks the human connection essential for creating authentic characters. I provide what AI cannot: recognizing that ineffable quality that makes characters feel real to readers.
The human editor brings value by identifying what is missing from your story and characters, providing the visceral connection readers crave.
Characters must have that ineffable quality that one human recognizes in another, a quality that cannot be programmed. We respond to people on an instinctive level in real life, and that same ineffable quality that attracts us as flesh and blood must also be rendered in your story. Otherwise, your characters will be cutouts, simply frameworks on which to hang a story.
Use AI for the mechanics of writing. Save yourself money by cleaning up your manuscript before you engage an editor, but do not expect AI to be capable of identifying what is missing from your story or your characters. That is where a flesh-and-blood editor is required.
That is where ANN replaces AI.
