Inexpensive editors are hard to hard. If you have written a book and want to publish it, then you will have to find a good editor who understands your writing and the audience you have written it for. Editing cannot be done if the editor is not able to understand what you are trying to convey.
In the beginning, no one is rich enough to afford a highly paid editor. They do give you good work, but they also charge for it accordingly. The early days are also the hardest days because they require good budgeting, and you need to stay within that budget. So where can you find a less expensive editor that provides you with good quality work? Fiverr!

- Do not go to the first profile that you see.
- Do not go to the cheapest one either. Yes, you can consider them but not without properly checking them out first.
- Try to get an idea of their work before hiring someone. Ask them about their strategy and how many hours they spend on a piece per day.
- The more you talk to them, the more confident you will feel trusting them with your work.
How Fiverr Helps
If you are new to Fiverr, then it is a good idea to watch some tutorials before deciding on anything. Both sellers and buyers need to do that so that they do not make mistakes.
How To Pick An Editor
- When you are serious about work, you want your editor to be serious about it too, meaning you need a profile that both looks and sounds professional. Having a good quality picture on a profile is important because that is how you know how serious they are about their work.
- To know a person better, you need to send them a message and talk to them. Some people use fake profile pictures. They take out-licensed free pictures from google and then use them. It is a huge disappointment to learn later that it was all fake.
- Do not discard profiles if they have less ratings. Fiverr is a freelancing platform which means people do not get to meet each other face to face. This is what makes it harder for people to work together. All one needs is a better understanding of each other. So if you have come to a profile that has four ratings instead of five, do not discard them. Read reviews and see what other people have to say about the person behind that profile. Short reviews are not that helpful, but the ones that are lengthy and personal helps a great deal.
- When you have found a profile that interests you, send them a message. Ask them if they are available and if they will be able to do your work within your budget. It takes 1-2 hours for someone to reply, but it can take less or more time, depending on the other person.
- Make sure to clearly explain what you expect from them. Do not push any seller to work for you at a low price because no one can put their time and effort into something that does not pay well.
- Depending upon your requirements, you might need a custom offer or you can order directly from their gig.
- After receiving the work, do not forget to give a review. Every seller or buyer assesses each other based on reviews and ratings. You did that too so it is very important for both you and your seller to have reviews for the sakes of others and for the sake of yourselves too.
Everything is fine when your work goes smoothly, but there will be occasions when you face some issues. For example, some sellers provided you with bad work and asking them to revise it is not helping. In this case, get help from the Fiverr team. You can send them an email regarding your issue and then wait for their reply. Both seller and buyer conflicts can be settled without any more problems.
