I’m pursuing traditional publishing options. Doesn’t the publisher edit my book for me?
Most authors who pursue traditional publishing options assume that the publishing house will take care of the pesky little details of getting their book ready for market, including editing. While publishers do edit their books prior to publication, having your book professionally edited before submitting it to agents and publishers might make a difference between acceptance and rejection, particularly in today’s competitive market and particularly for new or unpublished authors. There are many reasons why hiring an editor makes sense, even if you’re going the traditional publishing route.
