Not Sure What Type of Editing You Need?
In American traditional publishing, books are taken through multiple stages of editing and proofreading, which can be generally summarized in four parts. Some editors offer all four stages, and others offer less or combined stages.
Not all self-publishing authors are able to commit financially to all four stages. Consider what veteran UK editor and proofreader Louise Harnby has to say in her book Editing Fiction at Sentence Level:
"The mainstream publishing industry knows a thing or two about bringing high-quality books to market . . . The writer who seeks to mimic that process is the writer who's least likely to garner negative reviews, and the most likely to build fans. That's key because fans won't just buy this book; they'll buy the next book, and the one after that, and the one after that."
