I’m curious about how much value authors really get from professional book editing services. Do these services significantly improve readability, structure, and overall book quality, or is it mostly for peace of mind? For first-time writers especially, is hiring a professional editor a game-changer, or can self-editing suffice if you’re careful? I’d love to hear experiences from other authors—how much difference did professional editing make in terms of reviews, reader engagement, or even your confidence as a writer?
