Hire the best copy editors in Ireland

To streamline your writing style and keep it consistent throughout your book, you can turn to a freelance copy editor. Copy editors ensure that your writing is accurate on the sentence level — that means devising a style sheet for your book if you didn’t already create one, fact-checking any unsubstantiated claims, watching out for tonal inconsistencies, and making note of any uses of jargon that could be reconsidered.

In other words, hiring a copy editor in Ireland can help your work shine by removing any minor issues that could get in the way of your reader’s enjoyment. To find the right copy editor for your manuscript, sign up to Reedsy’s marketplace.
