Even if you don’t think you need to hire a copy editor, you’d be surprised by how much difference this type of editing can make.
Copy editing isn’t the same as proofreading: it involves an editor examining your work and asking questions about the way you use language throughout the text. Does it flow well? Does your tone maintain consistency? Does your narrative voice change, and are you using specific words that don't align with it? They’ll also look at your writing on a sentence level, making suggestions on clarity and syntax, and correcting spelling errors, grammar mistakes, and awkward turns of phrase. Overall, a freelance copy editor will smooth out all details relating to style to bring your book, fiction or nonfiction, as close to perfect as possible.
For many writers, their copy editor is the most important collaborator they have in the pre-publication process. So why settle for anyone less than impeccable?
