'The End' is just the beginning
It's done. Novel Number Three is written, right up to the words 'The End.' But now the work really begins for an independent author like myself.
Too many indie authors overlook the importance of copy editing and proofreading. Spelling and grammar checks in Word are not enough. Seriously. I hear writers complain about the cost of outside editors and the time it takes, but it's important. I've toiled Read more of this blog post »
