Like any good legal case, a legal book has to combine three important things: professionalism, thorough research, and storytelling. If you’ve laid out your findings but feel you lack the momentum to make them appealing to the reader, or you aren’t sure that your structure is as intuitive as it should be, hiring a legal developmental editor should be your next step.
A skilled editor will be able to help you walk the fine line between objective legal truth and readability, shaping your argument to be its most concise, easy to follow, and straightforward self.
By working with someone experienced in legal books, you can be sure they know exactly what faults to watch out for, as they’ll have read a great number of books in your genre and helped edit many titles personally. On Reedsy, our legal developmental editors have worked with academic publishers and institutions alike, and have been selected for their vigor and thoroughness. Sign up today to meet them.
