Hire a human editor for human insight: Editors bring sensitive and nuanced responses from lived experience, aesthetics, and intuition. LLMs can't.
A sign of quality: Authors aiming to tell deep, original, and emotionally complex stories need human editors.
We know our genres: Human editors specialize, getting to know the subtle shifts in genre that make your work sing in romance, memoir, literary fiction, and marginalized voices. This cultural/contextual sensitivity is beyond what LLMs can do.
Creative working relationship-based work: A good editor works with authors to create collaborative partnerships, providing long-term editorial guidance. It's not just algorithmic text outputs.
