Within the domain of book editing, a developmental editor will assess content and story structure. Go to one when you want to see if your story "works."

What type of editing you need and what an editor can do to improve your work depends a lot on where you are in the arc of your project. Wherever you are, a precision edit is what you want.

Got a goal to be publishing your book before the end of the year? You can do it! And this checklist can help put you on the road to publishing in 2019.

When my first self-published manuscript returned from an editor's desk carved in violent red ink, I learned one huge lesson: a book simply won’t be publishable without professional author services like editing and design.

You cannot overedit, whatever anyone says. I dare say I've never read a book without finding a mistake, but when I see one in my work, there's nothing that can make me feel good about it.

While a good, professional (human) editor is invaluable to your book – the purchase of manuscript editing software can be another prudent investment.
