Hire the best book editors in Edinburgh



Before your book can be published, you’ll need to spend time refining and polishing it. This typically takes the form of several rounds of revisions, which can include anything from big-picture changes affecting structure or characterization to shifts in tone and style on the sentence level.



It’s a process best undertaken with the help of a professional editor. Depending on the type of editing you need, you can hire a book editor in Edinburgh (or beyond!) for an editorial assessment, developmental edit, copy edit or proofread — and if you aren’t sure what you need, just ask an editor, they’ll be able to help.
