What does it take to create a great literary fiction book? All you need to do to find out the answer is take a look at the “Acknowledgements” section of your favorite novel. Ten times out of ten, you’ll find that the first person that the author thanks is, of course, their editor.
That’s for good reason. A good book editor is the backbone of a book — perfecting its structure, filling up stray plot holes, bringing out the best in your characters, and helping your prose flow. And whether it’s developmental editing, copy editing, or proofreading, a book editor is an author’s number one best friend during the publishing journey.
So if you’re writing a novel and you’re looking for a literary fiction book editor, then you’re in the right place.
