The Impact of a Professional Editor’s work

A staggering 90% of self-published books never sell more than 100 copies. This statistic isn’t just a reflection of the story or thetext style; it’s often a direct result of inadequate redacting. A professional editor does more than correct grammar and punctuation, but helps to sell. An experienced editor can provide valuable feedback on story structure and character development. By investing in a good editor, authors significantly increase their chances of success.

The Editor-Author Synergy

Hiring a book editor is not about relinquishing control of your manuscript. The editor’s work is much more. The right editor will:

  • Editor will Identify and Resolve Structural Issues.
  • Editor will Enhance Your Voice.
  • Editor will Provide Constructive Feedback.

Editor Making You Market-Ready

Nowadays the work of an editor for your texts is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Whether you’re aiming for traditional publishing or self-publishing, the quality of redacting can make or break your success.

Embarking on the publishing journey, authors often encounter a crucial question: What type of redacting does my manuscript need? We offer a spectrum of copy editing and other work tailored to meet the unique needs of every story.

The Three Pillars of Editors work:

  1. Developmental: The Big Picture
    • Editor Focusing on: Structure, Plot, Character Development
    • Idea: Novels needing comprehensive restructuring or refinement of narrative elements.
    • Impact: Transforms the story by enhancing storytelling, pacing, and overall narrative flow.
  2. Copy Editing: The Detail-Oriented Approach
    • Focus: Grammar, Syntax, Consistency
    • Ideal: Well-structured novel requiring fine-tuning at the sentence level.
    • Impact: Polishes language, corrects errors, and ensures clarity and readability.
  3. Proofreading: The Final Polish
    • Focus: Spelling, Punctuation, Minor Errors
    • Ideal: Works that have undergone thorough redacting and need a final check before publication.
    • Impact: Ensures a clean, error-free, ready to be seen by readers and publishers.

Choosing the Right Editors 

Selecting the appropriate maintenance is crucial. A first-time author with a complex fantasy novel might benefit immensely from developmental editing to refine their world-building and character arcs. Conversely, a seasoned author with a well-structured self-help book might only need copy editing and proofreading to polish their stories
