But there are private editors who do not have the benefit of changing the essence of the text. Literary editors make little money. If you work from home, then this is regarded as a combination, and therefore the editor is given approximately one book per month based on the production of "one day - one author's sheet." If the editor works in a publishing house, the download can be several times higher: the editor can read from two to five novels at a time, so this is not an easy job. And it's better for a writer not to become a plus also a text editor. When I was writing my novel, I turned to the edubirdie company for editing the text, they are not bad at editing. A huge plus is that they have free features, like a quote generator

And if we return to editors and writers, then Litreds are constantly reading, as a result - colossal fatigue from eternal stress, “blurring” of the eyes, inability to adequately perceive any literary text. Literary editing is, of course, not working with a jackhammer, but also not just reading fascinating books in a comfortable chair: the editor must be extremely attentive and focused, otherwise - one missed awkward phrase, and the text falls apart, ceases to be artistic.
