Your manuscript deserves an editor who respects your unique voice. The Pro Book Editor is the in-house editing team at True Haven Press, and we work with authors of all experience levels and on any publishing journey, not just those publishing under our imprint. When you hire us, you work directly with Senior Managing Editor Debra L. Hartmann (25+ years of experience), backed by a hand-picked team of highly skilled and experienced editors and proofreaders. Every plan is custom-built to your manuscript, your budget, and your timeline. Every engagement starts with a free manuscript critique and sample edit so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.

If you publish without a plan, even a strong book will never leave the network you already have, and a cheap-looking book costs you the authority it was intended to build. Use our free guide to help you make that decision with clarity instead of pressure. truehavenpress.com/business-…

Two writers get the same note. One takes it and the book gets cleaner. One declines it and the book stays stranger and better. Both were right. An editor shows you what a choice will mean, leaving the choice as still yours. #AmEditing #AmWriting

Three details will do what nine cannot. Nine descriptions of a room flatten into nothing because the reader stops absorbing them. Keep the three things only this room would have and cut the rest. #EditingTips #AmWriting

Nerves are a behavior, not a feeling to announce. Start the week by trading one stated emotion for one observable act. #AmWriting #EditingTips

This is no formulaic apocalypse. Kirkus Reviews has called CALL ME ADAM "A consuming work of great unpredictability and power" and "Surprisingly inventive and delightfully weird." #PostApocalyptic #LiteraryFiction #AmReading amazon.com/dp/B0CW1CKXF9

Two weeks away from a chapter does more for it than two more hours tonight, because distance is the only edit you cannot fake. Put it away until it reads like someone else’s work. #WritersLife #AmWriting

Most writers think their weakest skill is plot. In practice it is usually transitions, endings, or knowing what to leave out. What is the craft problem you keep hitting? #WritingCommunity #AmEditing

A manuscript gets read twice before a single note is written. The first pass runs at reading speed with nothing marked, because an editor has exactly one chance to meet your book the way a reader will. #AmEditing #EditingTips

You will not learn to sail by reading about the sea. Ursula K. Le Guin built Steering the Craft almost entirely out of exercises for that reason. Practice the sentence rather than only studying it. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity
