From "10 Things Your Freelance Editor Might Not Tell You—But Should"
—by Tanya Egan Gibson

"I know you’re really excited that you finally finished that book! … Celebrate it!

But don’t send it to an editor yet. Put it away for three weeks and then reread, making notes on its strengths and weaknesses, asking yourself what’s missing, and flagging places where you find yourself skimming. Then rewrite the manuscript at least once—twice is better.

Don’t bring in a professional until you have made the book the best you possibly can on your own. At this stage, you are still best equipped to take your book to the next level. Only when you’ve taken it as far as you can on your own will you get the most for your money in hiring a freelance editor."
