Are you a writer? Do you want to write the best piece? Then a development editor is critical for your writing to become more fascinating. A development editor will improve and polish your writing by removing errors and helping you make it more concise and clear.

This is done through proofreading, rewriting, and reorganizing some parts to make the text clear and smoother. This type of editing can be done before or after the initial drafts or revisions. It is best to do this as early as you can.

First-time authors make a big mistake when hiring editors for their manuscripts. Most writers submit premature material to the editors to make them turn it into something grand for them. This leaves editors frustrated as well. Even though they may be doing this unknowingly, a first draft is never sent to an editor.

Hiring an editor and working with them is the best investment for your manuscript and your career. But you need to be smart about it. If you hire an editor before you are ready, then you will not be able to make the most out of the editor services, and this may end up being very expensive. A good developmental edit costs thousands of dollars. So how can you know when to get the help of a qualified developmental editors for hire?

The business of art lies just in this, — to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.

We teach people how to do person centred planning and we always spend time on ‘The Graphics Academy’. Obviously this is about using pens, pastels and paper and how to record what’s being said in key words and images. It’s about the importance of keeping up and ways you can try to do this. It’s about recording their words, not yours. It’s about dealing with mistakes, especially spelling mistakes, and it’s about using colour and letter size to convey meaning. 

But most of all we’re trying to teach that graphic facilitation is about listening and it’s not so obvious how you do that. 

We will demonstrate person centred planning, usually PATH, with the group before we get to the graphics academy so they will have seen a graphic being created live in front of them.

Sometimes life seems to be a hostile and depressing place, a puzzle that we can’t solve, stress and exhaustion come. Everyone has bad times, but if it tends to happen again and again, there is a risk of emotional burnout. This is not just everyday stress caused by various disturbances, burnout occurs as a result of incessant stress.  When you are stressed, you understand that it is a temporary phenomenon, you know that you will be able to overcome it and return to your normal state of mind. Emotional burnout is characterized by growing indifference to the world around, to yourself, and to life itself. This is a feeling of total disappointment that eventually leads to neurotic disorders and psychosomatic diseases. A man sees no glimmer of hope, not knowing in what direction to move. In this article, we will look at what causes emotional burnout, how to deal with it, and how to prevent it.
