Your manuscript deserves an editor who respects your unique voice. The Pro Book Editor is the in-house editing team at True Haven Press, and we work with authors of all experience levels and on any publishing journey, not just those publishing under our imprint.
When you hire us, you work directly with Senior Managing Editor Debra L. Hartmann (25+ years of experience), backed by a hand-picked team of highly skilled and experienced editors and proofreaders.
Every plan is custom-built to your manuscript, your budget, and your timeline.
Every engagement starts with a free manuscript critique and sample edit so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
The scoreboard for a business book isn't the bestseller list. It's the calls, contracts, and invitations the book brings in. Follow the link to grab our free guide on publishing a book that pays off.

True or false: editing is for writers who aren’t good enough yet. False! Nearly every book on your shelf went through an editor, whatever its author’s skill. Editing is part of how good books get made. What has kept you from asking for one? #WritingCommunity #AmEditing

A writer says her novel is about grief, but, reading it, her editor notices that every chapter includes a broken promise. That may be the book’s real subject, and revision gets easier once the writer can see it. Some patterns only show from outside. #AmEditing #AmWriting

Why do italics exist? Aldus Manutius printed the first book set entirely in italic type in 1501, to fit more text into a pocket-sized edition. Italics used for emphasis came later. Before you italicize a word for stress, try rebuilding the sentence. #AmEditing #EditingTips
Every memoir has two narrators: the person it happened to and the person writing it down years later. Only the second one knows how it ends. Decide how much of that hindsight each scene is allowed to show. #LifeWritingMonth #AmWriting

A paragraph break is where the reader takes a pause with you, so break where the thought turns, not where the page looks crowded. A long paragraph can hold tension, and a one-line paragraph makes the reader stop. Choose each with purpose. #EditingTips #AmWriting
When do you actually write? Before work, in a parked car, after everyone else goes to bed? A book built in fifteen-minute pieces is still a book, and nobody reading it will ever know where the time was spent. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

You don’t become an author when the book is finished. You become an author every time you open a draft that isn’t working yet and stick with it anyway. Happy National Authors’ Day to everyone doing that today. #NationalAuthorsDay #AmWriting
