You will have email access to your editing team via email, as well as a set amount of scheduled 1:1 calls to ensure alignment throughout the entire process. Here at selfpublishing.com, we have helped edit many books. And we have worked hard to create a streamlined editing process that allows for multiple feedback opportunities, collaborative meetings, and helps authors complete the editing phase of their books faster, without compromising any quality.

Choosing to work with a professional editing team can save you immense amounts of time and money. Firstly, you won’t need to find, vet, and interview individual editors for each type of editing your book needs. A diverse team brings also varied expertise and perspectives, facilitating collaborative feedback and discussions that enhance the overall quality of the manuscript. A team will also implement rigorous quality control measures, and provide specialized roles, such as developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading – all with just one point of contact.

You could – and it would likely save money on your self-publishing costs. However, it’s often not the best approach. While self-editing is an important part of the post-writing process, it shouldn’t be the only editing phase you complete. Relying solely on self-editing may lead to overlooking errors, inconsistencies, or areas for improvement that an external perspective can easily catch. External editors bring fresh eyes and objectivity, providing valuable insights that may be challenging for authors to discern on their own. The combination of self-editing and professional editing ensures a more thorough and polished final manuscript, contributing to the overall quality and success of the writing endeavor.
