Literary agents expect a version that has had more than just your eyes on them. And there are many places that you can source editors. I’m going to show you how I found my editor and I’ll also share how my editor delivers feedback just in case you’re in a space where you’re looking for an editor as well.

Check out the editors on Fiverr here: go.fiverr.com/visit/?bta=120456&brand=fiverrcpa

I also knew I wanted someone whose tone aligned with the feeling I want my book to evoke: warm, light-hearted, and full of heart. That’s how I landed on Cassandra. You can tell a lot about an editor from the way they present themselves. Her write-up on Fiverr immediately gave me the sense that she got the tone I was going for.

I had a good gut feeling about Cassandra, so we started with just the first 10,000 words. And honestly? As much as I hope readers fall in love with my writing someday, I fell in love with her feedback. Her notes made me laugh, encouraged me, and left me excited to keep going.
