Getting your book edited is highly recommended especially when you’re in the beginning stages of your writing.
Please, find a list of my recommended editors below. These editors come highly recommended because I’ve personally worked with them or they have been recommended to me from readers of this blog.
It’s important to think about what you need from your book editor and balance that with cost. Also, plan your editor ahead of time, because professional editors are always busy.
*** Please note: Editors rates may change over time so please check the editor’s site for current pricing.***
