You’ve just finished your manuscript – congratulations! But now you’re staring at your screen, wondering what comes next. Line Editing or Proofreading? Should you hire a line editor? Or is it time for a proofreader? Let’s cut through the confusion and help you make the right choice for your literary baby.
Here’s the thing about editing – it’s like peeling an onion. Each layer serves a different purpose, and rushing to the final polish before addressing deeper issues is a rookie mistake I see too many authors make. Whether you’re writing fiction books or non-fiction manuscripts, understanding the editing process is crucial for publishing success. It is more than just fixing the typos.
Before diving into line editing and proofreading specifically, let’s quickly outline the main types of editing services available to authors:
Think of line editing as the difference between a home-cooked meal and a masterpiece from a five-star restaurant. Both might use the same ingredients, but the execution? That’s where the magic happens.

Remember: both line editing and proofreading are investments in your book’s success. Skipping either one is like building a house without a roof or foundation – you need both for different reasons.
The bottom line is to invest in your success. Whether you choose to start with line editing or move straight to proofreading, the key is making an informed decision based on your manuscript’s current state and your publishing goals. Don’t rush the process – quality editing takes time, but the results are worth the investment.
