What is the best way to get a book into the editing/publishing field?

I am in 12th grade, I do not have an excess of money to pay for an editing service, so I am looking for quality but cheaper alternatives to traditional/bigger editing services.

Kelvan’s Answer

Plenty of ways to get your book into editing and publishing as a 12th grader on a tight budget:

Use what you already have. Start by asking teachers, classmates, or writing clubs to review your work. This is free and can be very helpful. For student authors, programs like Studentreasures offer free book publishing for classrooms, which could be an option if your school participates.
You can also use free or low-cost tools like Grammarly for grammar and style checks, but don’t rely on them alone.

Consider budget-friendly professional editors on platforms like Fiverr, Reedsy, or Editor World. They often let you choose editors based on price and reviews. PaperBlazer is another option low pricing and fast turnaround.

Juanita’s Answer

This is a wonderful question. Editing can be an expensive part of getting your book ready for publishing, but with that said, you might be able to find someone who will be able to help you for cheaper or even free. I'd suggest that you reach out to editors and explain your situation and hear what they have to say. In the meantime, I'd suggest that you learn how to self-edit your book. There are wonderful books out there that teaches writers how to edit their own books before publishing. I, personally, edit my own books for publishing and only pay for proofreading services (which are often more affordable than editing) and you will get great feedback.

Hello, Tamara.
Congratulations on writing your book and getting it to the editing stage. That’s something to celebrate.

Consider using AI for your editing. Try ChatGTP, there’s a free version.

The important thing is to cultivate the skill of asking the right questions with AI and to employ your own judgment around editing decisions.

Keep up your writing work and be in it for the long haul!
