We've assembled an all - star team of experienced book editors across the globe that take the stress out of
editing your book on your own.
-- How much does your neighbor know about publishing and the ins and outs
of editing books in specific genres?
Have someone else
edit the book for clarity to be sure that you haven't left out any steps.
But a lot of indie authors are also publishing poorly written,
poorly edited books with ugly covers.
So, you have a
well edited book with a stunning cover, but how do you get it noticed?
Even if you have several friends that are willing to
help edit your book, it's still a good idea to hire at least one professional.
It's better to first get experience
editing books by working with self - publishing authors.
When editing book projects I usually charge what I would for most others, by the page.
If you need more information
about editing your book, we have a list of editors we recommend on our site here and 5 steps to self - editing your writing here.
If you'd like to see more well - written, well -
edited books out there, please get the word out about this contest.
This means taking the time to learn about writing and self - editing, and realizing the importance of hiring a professional editor to
edit the book before giving it to the world.
An example is a client who had a wonderful storyline but needed to hire an editor to professionally
edit his book so the manuscript would be as ready as possible to show an agent.
-LSB-...] choose an editor for a project, you'll want someone who is familiar with your genre and with the kind of
editing your book needs.
One of the advantages to self - publishing is the ease with which you can
edit your book after publication.
They get the exact same kind of queries agents do and perform the same basic function of filtering out poorly written or
badly edited books.
And when I went back and
started editing the book, what really struck me was, I didn't feel the need to change anything in the book.
But
editing this book made it clear that the real question is fear — people afraid of their own words, of opening themselves up to attack.
What you're saying is if 5 different professional
editors edited my book, there results would all be the same?
There is a significant difference between having a professional do the job and letting a
friend edit your book.
One of the main reasons why this program is great is because you can
easily edit books you download from the internet.
You can self - publish it later if you want, and have a well -
edited book ready to go.
Or preferably free book marketing services so you can keep your budget for essential things
like editing your book, formatting and book cover design.
There is a difference
between editing a book and forcing an author to change his book because it doesn't meet whatever agenda the publisher might have.
The
final edited book will now be sent for formatting and we then work with our book designer to design the right professional book cover for your book.
Another thing a poorly
edited book tells a producer is that you don't care about the quality of your book.
