Why use an editing service?

Book and magazine editors expect a manuscript to be ready for publication when they receive it. If it is incorrectly formatted or is full of typos and misspellings, it will be returned unread. Also, most writers are so close to their work that they fail to see problems in it, such as: imprecise language, overuse of adverbs or passive voice, weak sentence structure, or "telling" instead of "showing".
