Hi #Stetchat! I'm a proofreader, mostly doing Sci Fi and Fantasy. I'm just finishing up a proofreading test for a publisher today. My favorite correction on it: "The town was in a picnic." because of all the monsters.

A4: I rarely do coaching, but a few years back I worked with a client who was doing her first nonfiction book. I was like the fourth person she'd worked with (I should have noped out, but there were Reasons). She'd make progress, stall, and start from scratch. Over and over. #StetChat

A6: I'm not sure. My day job used to be in a cover art department for a big trade publisher. I think I'd try to draw on that experience to give them some feedback. But that should probably be a different service than the editorial stuff. #StetChat

A7: I respond that I don't offer that kind of editing and maybe explain how what I do offer differs from what they're looking for. #StetChat

#StetChat A6: Ah! My contract has a mutual anti-AI use clause, but it's—currently—only about the manuscript itself. I'd demur that I'm not a visual artist and then, again, refer them to humans instead.

Been there. Consider where the author is coming from. Don’t immediately shut them down. Provide reason, logic, and speak from expertise. #StetChat

#StetChat A7 I'd say I don't offer that service. I might refer them if they seem clueless rather than unwilling to put in the work. Otherwise, I'd contact whoever I might refer before mentioning them to see if they're willing to take on a client who doesn't look at their potential editor's website.

A5: This has happened to me a couple of times. I have offered to do a more substantial edit if they're interested, but I've never been taken up on it. Sometimes folks are just really attached to their work. #StetChat

A3: I would be very disappointed but then go back to them and ask them in a non-confrontational way whether they used AI and why. #StetChat
