Before you can promote and sell a book, you must write, edit, and publish it well. Editing matters immensely. A developmental editor spotted that a new young adult fiction writer started their story at a very boring point. By moving the story's beginning to right before the action, it went from dull to captivating. Writing, editing, and publishing a great book are paramount to its success. Focus on leveling up your writing skill, as reader reviews and recommendations are key accelerators to book marketing. #BookWriting #EditingTips #PublishingAdvice #WritingSkills #BookMarketing

What's an editing nightmare you've experienced? 😶 In the beginning, I lamented the fact that I couldn't afford an editor for my book. Now I'm starting to think not having an editor wasn't such a bad thing. Why did I change my mind? 1. Having to edit my own book sharpened my writing skills. 2. It made me more confident in my writing. 3. I didn't run the risk of working with a bad editor (I'm learning bad editors are quite common). 4. I was able to gather feedback from Arc readers to know what improvements I should make. 5. I saved money. LOTS of money. If you've had a good experience with an editor feel free to share that too! #writer #author #publishing #books #career #editor #writing #indie #editing
