  • Now, if you’re planning to submit to agents or publishers, then please keep in mind that the edits made with this option are not the deciding factor on whether agents or publishers will request or reject your manuscript. However, whose manuscript do you believe an agent or publisher is more likely to pick up? The one they can read without pausing, or the one with typos in it that could have been corrected with diligence? More importantly, which writer will they trust more?
