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.

Here’s the order to run a structural pass: Where does the story actually start? Where does it stall? Which chapter is doing two jobs, and which is doing none? Don’t line edit yet. Get the shape first, then edit sentences after. #AmEditing #EditingTips

If you publish without a plan, even a strong book will never leave the network you already have, and a cheap-looking book costs you the authority it was intended to build.
Use our free guide to help you make that decision with clarity instead of pressure.

Some powers are inherited. Others are awakened, which comes at a cost. In DARK RIVER MAGIC, Sparrow's lineage traces to a priestess. When she stops running, she'll have to master the magic she was never taught to control.

Which of your problems can only you solve, and which need distance you can’t provide? “Fix it myself” and “get help” aren’t opposites, and most manuscripts need both. Knowing which is which is the real skill. #AmWriting #AmEditing

Where you break a chapter matters more than how you round it off. Weaker: “She went to bed, exhausted.” Stronger: “The envelope was still on the table when she turned off the light.” Break on the unresolved thing. #AmWriting #EditingTips
