#PublishingReinvented 268 The Case For Human Editing + Last Chance To Vote For A Book To Get $100 of Free Ads in May!
I, and a lot of others, believe that a human editor is needed for all books.
Are we really going to let AI take over what we read and pass on to future generations?
A human editor provides:
Objective Perspective: A set of eyes to identify plot holes (books are still too long for AI to get this right), inconsistencies, pacing issues, and unclear passages that AI passes over.
Nuanced Language and Tone: A human editor will ensure the language is clear, engaging, and appropriate for the intended audience—capturing subtle tone shifts, cultural references, and stylistic choices that AI or automated tools often miss.
Structural and Thematic Cohesion: Beyond grammar and spelling, a skilled editor helps shape the overall structure and thematic flow of a book, strengthening character arcs, narrative logic, and emotional impact to elevate the story to a high standard.
AI can do a basic job, but it you want quality you still need at least one human editing pass on a book. For more on this subject, read this short post.
We also provide human editing at low prices, but this is not an ad, this is a plea to use humans. Any qualified human.
