You’re writing a book. You know that you need a professional editor to help you figure out how to revise your book successfully, but you’re not sure if you’re truly ready for such a big step. In this episode, I’m discussing five signs that you are ready to hire an editor. If you check all of these boxes, it’s time to reach out!

Here are the five signs that you are ready for professional editing:

1. You’ve taken your manuscript as far as you can on your own.
2. You’re actually open to feedback - not just looking for a rubber stamp on your writing.
3. You’re ready to invest in your work (even if you’re not guaranteed to make that money back).
4. You know how editing fits your personal and professional writing goals.
5. You’re emotionally ready to get feedback that may sting a little.
