Like any good legal case, a legal book has to combine three important things: professionalism, thorough research, and storytelling. If you’ve laid out your findings but feel you lack the momentum to make them appealing to the reader, or you aren’t sure that your structure is as intuitive as it should be, hiring a legal developmental editor should be your next step.
A skilled editor will be able to help you walk the fine line between objective legal truth and readability, shaping your argument to be its most concise, easy to follow, and straightforward self.
By working with someone experienced in legal books, you can be sure they know exactly what faults to watch out for, as they’ll have read a great number of books in your genre and helped edit many titles personally. On Reedsy, our legal developmental editors have worked with academic publishers and institutions alike, and have been selected for their vigor and thoroughness. Sign up today to meet them.
Successful authors build talented teams around them to bring their book to life. Through the Reedsy Marketplace, you can meet the industry’s top professional book editors, cover designers, book marketers and ghostwriters. Reedsy professionals know the publishing landscape better than a writer knows the taste of hot coffee, come meet them.
