I’m planning to self-publish. What are the benefits of having my work edited?
In my experience, no manuscript has ever gone from submission to print without passing through the hands of at least two editors. With self-publishing, your work probably won’t be seen by a single editor. If you plan to self-publish, you’ll need to find your own editor to look at the work and give you feedback, and it’s most critical that you do this. Authors who self-publish without any outside editing help can be spotted a mile away. There’s a reason major publishers employ numerous levels of editors, and those who self-publish simply aren’t afforded the luxury of the editorial process. I’m free to answer any other questions you may have. You can contact me via email or by phone during regular business hours. This page is also frequently updated with new questions and answers.
