Michael Beadley asked Charissa Dufour:

Did you pay for an editor for your first book? Would you advise others to do so? Any advice on getting your first book to sell when you are completely unknown?

Charissa Dufour I strongly encourage using an editor. It's hard to come back after multiple reviews complaining about mistakes. And readers will complain!
I also strongly advise learning social media marketing and how to use ppc advertising like on amazon. It's not easy, it's not fun, but it is needed.
