The entire month of September 2022 revolves around reading new books, which might inspire you to start your book and hire your editor while the momentum is building!
Read a New Book
The great thing about the world of literature is the never-ending offerings in bookstores and on various online bookseller sites across all genres.
After all, without new manuscripts, there would be no new books to read. That’s why your concept, outline, story arc, plot, setting, and character development are so important! These initial steps lead to the writing and editing of your book, which can then be published and launched into the world. There is a market for well-written, engaging stories in all genres.
Hire Your Editor
An experienced second pair of eyes can make all the difference in the quality of your book. Readers expect to read stories that are free of distractions, including grammar and punctuation errors, plot gaps, lackluster dialogue, repetition, and less-than-stellar content. When you hire your editor, you are hiring a collaborator who will surveil these issues and suggest improvements.
Your manuscript may require simple proofreading, copyediting, more complex line editing, or developmental editing that looks at all aspects of the manuscript, including flow, pacing, and proper use of literary elements.
