BUSINESS BOOK EDITING
MAKE YOUR BOOK PACK A PROFESSIONAL PUNCH
Editing isn’t just a chore—it’s where your book gets its polish and shine. Think of it as taking your diamond in the rough and turning it into a gleaming gem. With the right approach, you can breeze through editing, giving your book the professional edge it deserves.
Note: Sorry, but I don’t proofread books anymore but I can refer you to reliable editors who will edit and proofread your book for you. If you’d like my feedback on how well you’re editing with the checklist, please book a one-hour call. I’ll happily talk you through a chapter review together.

Important note
My business book editing packages are designed for those who thrive on structure and are excited about creating a robust, well-edited book from the outset. If you prefer to rush the editing and risk mistakes creeping in later, or wash your hands of it entirely and ask your nephew or neighbour to ‘check your spelling’, this editing process will not be the best fit for you. If you’ve been following all the checklists to this point, your book should be in pretty good shape already. If you’ve been working on your book with no guidance and you’ve never published on before, allow extra time to get your editing chops up to scratch.
