Self published authors often get a bad press but I’ve found this is often due to bad or non-existent editing. I do my best. I proof read until my eyes are sore and then I ask some very good friends to do the same for me before I take the book to publication. However, I am the first to hold my hand up and confess that my work may not be as ‘polished’ as it might have been had it been published by a large and well funded publishing house with a team of professional editorial staff employed to sift through every semi-colon and double word typo.
I don’t price my books to compete with the big players. If the term, ‘you get what you pay for,’ is true, then I hope my readers will appreciate that they are not paying for a professionally edited novel, but I hope they will realise that they are getting a great deal and a good read for a very small price.
