Before hiring an editor, it is important to make sure your story is as strong as it can be. While we can help you address any required revisions, it is more cost-effective if you can make use of story development resources to minimize the amount of work that is required.
A great way to do this is to become well-educated in self-editing techniques. Though there are numerous craft books, there are a few which we think are fundamental for writers. Be sure to study them as this will fortify your understanding of critical techniques to make your fiction engaging.
Book coaching is also an excellent strategy for writers who benefit from professional feedback while drafting. Working weekly with an expert editor creates accountability and helpful feedback during drafting, allowing you to produce a first draft that is as strong as a fifth or sixth draft. Our personal recommendation for those seeking a book coach is the Author Accelerator program, founded by highly acclaimed author and book coach Jennie Nash.
