Choosing a book editor can be stressful. How\u2019s one to know if one editor or editing service is better than the other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As authors, we can only base our decision on things like their listed testimonials, prices, and if we\u2019re lucky, a recommendation from a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, are you getting your money\u2019s worth? Is one editor actually worth their asking price or can you get a better return on your investment somewhere else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to cover today with our book editor mastery guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I not only want to teach you about the differences in professional editing services\u2013because there are a lot\u2013but I also want to give you a standardized way to test two editors<\/a> and choose the one who will truly give you the best return on your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This single step has helped me to build the perfect team and was instrumental to my multiple book successes – because there\u2019s nothing that kills sales and reviews more than poor spelling, grammar, and book structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So what does a book editor<\/a> do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It seems simple, there are editors who edit books<\/a>, right? When I first dug into this topic, however, I was surprised to find it\u2019s super confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Editors, authors, and even professional organizations for editors use different terms to define what editors do. When it\u2019s time for you to connect with a manuscript editor, you absolutely must clarify what is and what is not included in their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are different levels of editing that range from helping authors with an idea for a book<\/a> to helping authors ensure every typo or missed period is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
