It includes proofreading, grammar correction, logic combing, and content polishing of the works to help authors improve the quality and readability of their works. However, unlike traditional publishing editors, editors in self-publishing are more based on the original creation of the author to improve, rather than making large-scale directional changes to the content. According to the type and style of the work, the layout design of the inner pages of the book is carried out, such as font selection, font size matching, line spacing setting, chapter layout, etc. At the same time, the cover of the book is designed to make it attractive and unique to enhance the overall visual effect of the work.
