"How Important is Professional Book Editing?"

Hey everyone,

I’m working on my first novel and wondering how crucial professional editing really is. I’ve gone through my manuscript multiple times, but I’m sure I’ve missed things. Is it worth hiring a professional editor, or should I rely on beta readers and self-editing tools?

I came across Barter. Books Publishers, which offers best Book Editing services, and I’m considering working with them. Has anyone used their services or can recommend a good editing company?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether professional editing is a must or if a solid self-editing process can work just as well.
