I’ve been wondering about the true impact of professional book editing services on an author’s success. Do these services genuinely improve the quality and readability of a book, or can careful self-editing achieve similar results? How much do readers really notice professional editing compared to amateur work? For first-time or independent authors, is the investment worth it? I’d love to hear different perspectives and experiences do professional book editing services make a clear difference, or are they sometimes unnecessary in today’s publishing landscape?
