Using Editorial Services to Improve Sales
Book Publishers that offer editorial services for your work usually provide only light proofreading.
This is N-O-T enough!
Don't Sabotage the Success of Your Book
Poorly written books are harder to read... and believe! And more importantly they are less likely to be book reviewed by a mover and shaker in your chosen area of expertise. A poorly organized and error filled book will drive sales away.
When choosing editing services, don't expect an editor that works with technical journals to be great at book editing mystery novels!
Using editorial services is a worthwhile step on the road to publishing. Even a piece of work you consider near perfect can benefit from detailed manuscript editing from the right editor.
A Powerful Tip to Get Valuable Peer Review
Do this only after you have utilized a professional editorial services.
Send a chapter of your non-fiction book to a mover shaker from your book topic area. Include a Self Addressed Envelope.
Write a cover letter saying :
"I'm writing to you because you are an expert in your industry. I would love your opinion on this chapter of my latest book. Please mark up this document with your opinions, scratch off sections that are outdated or in error. Thank You for your help. I've included a SASE for your convenience."
Use the feedback obtained to further improve the organization of your book. Follow up by requesting permission to include some of the favorable feedback on the back cover of your book. This is an easy way to obtain testimonials!
