You may just want someone to proofread your book for typos or someone who examines the whole book’s structure.

There are also different kinds of editors, so get familiar with the options available. So request quotes and find the right editor for your budget and needs. Professional editing will cost anywhere between $30-$55 an hour, according to The Editorial Freelancers Association. Once you’ve written your book and self-edited as much as you can, you might choose to have it assessed by a professional editor. Know your market, and write a book that satisfies them. Is there a ton of other books on the same topic? How will yours be different? If there aren’t many books in your niche, research more into why there might not be a demand for it. Before you dive into writing your manuscript, you’ll need to research the market.
