The Benefits of an Editorial Evaluation
Importance of Editorial Quality
- No matter how small or big an audience, the editorial quality of the work matters.
- The first question readers and industry professionals ask about a book: Is it good?
The Quality-Assurance Process
- Each Editorial Evaluation and Editorial Service is reviewed by one of the members of the editorial staff for quality assurance.
- If evaluations or services do not meet iUniverse standards, they are sent back to the evaluator or editor for specific alteration that will help the service achieve those high standards.
- Authors who buy services from outside providers have neither the leverage nor the expertise to know whether they are receiving a quality edit at industry-standard prices; we do.
- If an author has a specific complaint related to an Editorial Evaluation or Service (not just “My book is great and I want Editor’s Choice!”), one of our professional editorial staff will review the complaint and then address the issues—both with the author and the editor—to create a fair solution.
Professional Editorial Staff
- Nearly all publishing houses today—even the largest—outsource their editorial services to professional freelancers. iUniverse draws from the same freelance pool of editorial service providers that the large traditional houses do.
