Hi everyone,
I’ve finished the first draft of my book and need help choosing the right editor. I’ve heard that editing can make or break a book, and I want to ensure my manuscript shines.
Should I look for a developmental editor or a copyeditor first? Also, has anyone worked with Barter. Books Publishers for top Book Editing services? Their comprehensive offerings sound great, but I’d love to hear about actual experiences before making a decision.
Any tips on what to expect or questions to ask before hiring an editor?
I should start with a developmental editor to help with the overall structure and pacing, or jump into copyediting to polish the grammar and style. For context, my project is somewhat similar in tone and approach to Book For Teenagers Creative Journals In A Bottle it's designed to be reflective and creative, with space for the reader to interact, so structure is really important.
