There are a few ways to find a developmental book editor:
- Contact your local Book Publishers Association.
- Conduct a search on Google, LinkedIn, or another search engine.
- Ask other authors in your genre or network for recommendations.
When searching for a developmental book editor, keep in mind that you want someone who is a good fit for your book and your writing style. Once you have a few names, you can research each editor to see if they have experience with your type of book, what their rates are, etc.
Another important consideration is whether you want a developmental editor who also provides line editing or copy editing services, as this can often be done at a lower cost than hiring two separate editors.
