Hire the best education and reference developmental editors


Concluding the final pages of your education or reference book manuscript alone is a feat of its own. So, where to now? While you’re surely an expert in your field, it’s difficult to step back and view the ‘big picture’ aspects of your work — when you already know what you’re talking about it can be especially difficult to view through the eyes of a beginner. Luckily, there’s an easy way to get around this: hire an educational reference developmental editor. These professionals specialize in looking at the wider picture and identifying problems with your structure, content, and overall readability.


You’ll need an expert with strong experience, especially if they’re suggesting large revisions. Head over to the Reedsy Marketplace if you want the best: we accept only the top 3% of professional applications, so you can trust that your education and reference editor has the right expertise.
