self-edited
Changed by oneself
Self-edited describes something revised or corrected by its own creator rather than by an outside editor.
A self-edited manuscript has been polished by the author alone.
The term often carries a slight note of caution—professional editing catches what authors miss: The book was clearly self-edited, and it showed.
