Hire the best Christian book editors

If you’ve just typed ‘The End’ on the last page of your Christian book’s manuscript, congratulations! It takes both passion and perseverance to get to this point, and you’re now really close to publication. Before you hit ‘publish,’ though, you’ll have to turn to a Christian book editor.

Think of the editing stage as the safety net for your book — it’ll improve the big picture, smoothen your use of language, and catch any pesky typos, making sure that what remains at the end of the day is a beautiful book that every reader will love to read. Whether your manuscript is a nonfiction book explicitly related to God, religion, theology, spirituality, or a novel sharing a message inspired by your faith, a Christian editor will be able to use their knowledge and skills to help your words shine. Depending on the areas that need the most work on your manuscript, you’ll likely have to begin with content editing, known generally as developmental editing. If you’ve worked with a book editor already or know you’re ready for line editing or proofreading, an experienced copy editor or proofreader’s guidance will be able to help you resolve any remaining issues relating to grammar and punctuation.

Here at Reedsy, you can hire the top Christian book editors in the business. We vet our publishing professionals thoroughly to make sure that you’re only working with the best in the field. Sign up for a free account to browse our editors’ profiles, request quotes, and check out the many clients they’ve worked with before. Send a request today to chat with our Christian editors about your publishing dreams — they’ll help you take the first step toward reaching the heart of a reader.
