Getting a copy edit for your book is like getting your car inspected when the engine light goes on: better safe than sorry. Even if you don’t think you need one, you’d be surprised by how much a great copy editor can improve your book.
A copy editor looks at your text under and picks out the pieces that don’t look or sound quite right. They’ll correct spelling errors, grammatical snarls, awkward turns of phrase, and inconsistencies than your developmental editor may not have caught. Overall, your copy editor will smooth out the syntax and temper the tone so your pages are as close to perfect as possible.
Indeed, for many writers, their copy editor is the most important collaborator they have in this process. So why settle for anyone less than impeccable?
