    About this ebook

    Hiring a book editor just got a whole lot easier.

     

    One of the biggest struggles of the self-publishing journey is finding and trusting a book editor to deliver high-quality results, and a good editor can be the difference between a successful book launch and releasing a dud.

     

    Jenny Hubert, a professional book editor who has helped authors earn #1 New Release on Amazon, has collected tips based on her own experience and presents them to you, the author, so that you can find your book editor match.

     

    In this short e-book, you learn how to:

     

    Vet book editors from a list of reputable sources.

    Narrow down a great fit among a sea of candidates.

    Identify red-flag behaviors of book editors to run away from.

    Prepare your book for a smooth transaction with your editor.

    And more!

     

    It's time to make your match!

     

    "A wealth of information. This book covers the editorial process from A to Z and all the nooks and crannies in between." —Lance La Ford, fiction writer

    Jenny Hubert

    My name is Jenny Hubert, and I gained most of my experience writing, editing, and critiquing through my college education. In 2018, I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s in communications and writing with a minor in literature. In addition to my degree, I also took two editing certification courses to ensure my editing knowledge was up to date, and I plan to enroll in more as the years progress. My niche in book editing is fantasy, but I also love editing contemporary, science fiction, and historical fiction. When I’m not editing, you can find me reading. At this time, my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice, but I also adore anything written by Agatha Christie. When I’m not reading, I’m writing. I’m planning on releasing a contemporary fiction novel within the next year as well as some short stories with dystopian and mythical themes. If you’re interested in viewing my book editing availability or accessing free resources, please visit jennyhubertedits.com For grammar tips and to see behind-the-scenes of books I edit, follow me on Instagram, @grammarwithjenny. If you have any more questions about book editing in general, check out my TikTok, @sweeter_than_fiction. I often respond to questions with videos.
