What Editing Style Do You Need?
Knowing what type of editing you need upfront can save you time, heartbreak, and money.
You don’t want an editor to rip your manuscript apart if it’s still in the beta reading stage, but you don’t want to hear flowery feedback if your manuscript is going to the market in a matter of weeks. Honesty about what you want upfront goes a long way toward helping you find the perfect editor.
At Light of Day Publishing, we pride ourselves on listening to our authors. We give you what you need when you need it.
