As a copyeditor, I make good books and good journal articles great. I get rid of inconsistencies, point out errors of fact, eliminate wordiness, smooth transitions between topics, and correct grammar and misspellings. I am the author's passionate advocate. Before you publish, have me handle the copyediting or substantive editing; have me polish your manuscript.
