the changing role of copy editors

Standard

As authors do not depend on publishers anymore in publishing their works work flows are changing. Authors are more independent in choosing their way of publishing. Still the process of writing itself remains hard work and is not easily done. Self publishing does not mean that the work of copy editors is no longer needed. Texts still have to be read and revised and read several times before they can be published. But where exactly is the place of the copy editor in ebook publishing? Roles are changing and I a m happy to be a part of the changes.
