Whether you are a struggling self-published author or you are a best-selling writer that works with a traditional publisher, every author has at least one thing in common: all need a quality editor and proofreader. In the initial phases of writing, developmental editors can provide suggestions to improve your book’s structure, plot and characters. Once a story is well-plotted, line editors can improve the phrasing of sentences so that paragraphs flow naturally, and copy editors can correct grammar. Perhaps the most important step in the editing process that an independent author can take is hiring a proofreader to scour your book for typographical errors that undoubtedly appeared in the manuscript’s initial writing or during revisions.
For self-published books, editing and proofreading errors are among the leading causes of critical Amazon reviews. Thus, it is important for indie authors to find an effective editing program or a qualified editor, and also to have books professionally proofread before publishing. Doing so will set the foundation for a successful book launch and plenty of five-star reviews.
