They say those who can’t play, coach. To me, the same holds true for writing. Those who can’t write, edit.

My 9-year-old daughter just finished reading the Harry Potter series. She wasn’t allowed to see any of the movies until she read the books. It warmed my heart to know that I wasn’t the only one that mispronounced Hermione Granger’s name throughout the entire series. What words have you mispronounced until hearing them aloud?

Buy, By, Bye
Buy is a verb that means to purchase.
By is a preposition that means near, beside or through.
Bye is a greeting of departure.
Now be honest, you’re singing that *NSYNC song, aren’t you?
Buy, By, Bye
Just a Little Reminder
It doesn’t matter how often we’ve been reminded of the differences in these words. They are still misused quite a bit. If you happen to be one of those people who confuse these words, hopefully this guide will help.

Testimonial
With my first book, I published without having an editor and it showed. Then Nicole contacted me. She’d read my book and offered her proofreading services. After she went through the book and I saw the number of errors I as well as my beta readers missed, I was so grateful that she walked into my life. With my second book, Nicole wasn’t just a proofreader, she was my content editor. She pointed out the flaws, plot holes, mistakes, and she even included what she thought was truly great about the book. She’s professional, she’s fun, and she’s a total sweetheart. I’m not sure how I got so lucky as to get an amazing editor like Nicole, but I’m so thankful. I am truly blessed to have found an editor who knows her “stuff” right out of the gate. Nicole Bailey is the editor you want if you want your book to be the best it can be. Send her an email… you’ll, no doubt, be as impressed as I am.
