I’m in the final stages of completing my book and thinking about hiring an editor. With so many options available, I’m unsure which type of editing to prioritize—developmental editing, copyediting, or proofreading.
I’ve heard about Barter. Books Publishers and their Top Book Editing services. Has anyone here used them? What’s your feedback? I want an editor who can polish the manuscript while preserving my voice and help with structural issues.
Also, how do you prepare your manuscript before submitting it for professional editing? Any tips for improving my draft before handing it over would be appreciated.
Let’s share some insights and experiences about working with editors. Thanks in advance for your help!
