If you're on track to self-publish or even traditionally publish your book, you should hire an editor to check it over first. Grammar issues, punctuation errors, plot holes, character inconsistencies, all of these can be fixed and NEED to be fixed if you're going to send your work into the world. But where do you find a trustworthy editor? You don't want to send your work to someone who is going to publish it as their own, and you don't want to send it to someone who will give you useless advice. Jalen Tellis, Indie author, has the beans to spill when it comes to what your budget should be when you are paying someone to edit your book, and when it comes to deciding on what your cover should look like.
