Great video and information. Thanks for the shoutout by the way. I agree with You and Tom who mentioned how Jeanne's voice was so incredible. I believe she would do very well as an Audiobook Narrator. For my book, "The Audiobook Narrator" I used several different methods to edit the manuscript. If memory serves me, I think we ended up with 110 different versions / edits. My daughter and I worked together to find a balance between keeping my voice and keeping things technically sound. It was a very interesting experience working with my daughter as the editor and formatter. We would go back and forth all the time about different words I wanted to keep capitalized and those dreaded commas, lol. Yet, I wouldn't change a thing as it's all part of the process. Thanks again for the video.

I missed this live but I JUST bought this. I just happen to have a nonfiction book I want to release by 2025 so guess what I'm doing for my birthday? I'm going to test this out. Wish me luck!

I appreciate this editor—she’s thorough without pushing the idea of hiring an editor if it's not feasible. Personally, I prefer going through multiple rounds of editing. My background as a legal secretary/paralegal and my experience taking critical writing in college have shaped my meticulous approach. My personality just doesn’t allow for a single round of edits!

So what would the cost be in a book that’s 23, 000 non fiction ? For an editor ? Roundabout trying to figure it out before using the Black Friday links
