Hire the best copy editors in Brighton


It’s undeniable: every book should be copy edited. A copy edit isn't just a proofread of your work. It also checks the consistency in your content and voice, assesses the transitions and flow in your work, and in general improves your book on a sentence level. All of which are things you’d no doubt miss out on when you self-edit, as your eyes are so used to the text that you don’t notice the little bumps in it — which is why a professional copy editor is essential to the success of your book.


If you're struggling to find good copy editors in Brighton, look no further. At Reedsy, we've done the searching for qualified professionals already, so that you don't have to.
