Professional editing is extremely important—honestly, it can make or break a book. Even strong writers benefit from an objective set of eyes that can refine structure, catch inconsistencies, fix grammar issues, and improve overall clarity. Good editing doesn’t change your voice; it enhances it.
That’s why most publishers (including places like David McKay Publications) insist on a solid editing process. It elevates a manuscript from “good idea” to a polished, enjoyable reading experience. If the goal is to publish a book that readers connect with, professional editing is definitely worth it.
