The Importance of Editing
Editing is as important to the vision and message of your book as its design and marketing—maybe more so. The idea of choosing and working with an editor can seem daunting, but for self-publishing authors who are serious about selling their books, hiring a professional book editor is a must.
Your book will compete not only with other self-published books, but also with traditionally published books that have undergone rigorous editing by their publishing companies. Good editing will enable your book to shine and will set you apart from self-publishers who don't understand the importance and benefits of editing.
Join us as we explain the following and more:
Developmental editor Linda Wolf and copyeditor Kim Bookless will co-present on the wonderful world of editing, followed by a Q&A session.
After the meeting we'll adjourn to a nearby restaurant and we'd love to have you join us so we can continue the conversation.
