We can help build a personalized team for your needs.
Chances are, your non-fiction book is posing a problem and trying to help readers understand it better (e.g. economic inequality) or deal with it in a practical way (e.g. setting up a business). To do that successfully, you need to convince your reader that you’re worth listening to because of your experience or expertise, and then lay out your thoughts in an engaging, intuitive way.
By hiring a non-fiction developmental editor with experience in the genre, you'll get their help with several important aspects of your work: from organizing your thoughts in a more coherent order, to pointing out when something is hard to follow or identifying gaps in your logic, these editors can help you make sure that your book is as compelling and helpful as possible.
We carefully vet our non-fiction developmental editors to ensure they have extensive experience editing not just any kind of books, but books in your particular genre.
