In the past, publishing houses would keep full-time manuscript editors on staff. That&rsquo;s grown less and less common. Most traditional publishers now would like books edited before they&rsquo;re submitted. Christmas says that if an author is self-published, it&rsquo;s vital that he or she hire a professional editor. The editing services and skills of a professional editor are different than the editing services of friends and family. Simple objectivity will change the way that an editor approaches a manuscript. In addition, there are major differences between editing a book and editing papers or articles. Finally, there are industry trends that a professional editor is aware of that family and friends are not.
