Probably ...You seem to have touched a nerve, Steve! Probably not the first time.<br /><br />I've hired editors, including Elizabeth A. White. Those decisions fit my both my goals and my budget and I'm happy with the results. And I absolutely think editors should be paid what they're worth, which is a lot. I only wish authors could be paid what they're worth, too. A look at the recent author earnings report that came out shows that's not happening and it's only getting worse.Holly Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910436592791818527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-1336507243358380062019-02-07T16:54:42.123-05:002019-02-07T16:54:42.123-05:00What part is Steve getting wrong?

BUT I also agree if you are going to self publish you should hire an editor. Me, I’m famously dyslexic, so my first 4 books were edited by Erika, my smart wife, and then by a pro. Elizabeth White was detailed and exacting. She found in Young Americans I was referencing a song that wouldn’t come out until a year after the book was set, and so much more. Did I make the money back? It took time but altimately I did. But that wasn’t why I did it, I hired Elizabeth White because I feel if you are going to put work out, it better be as right as you can make it. <br /><br />ALL THE BRIDGES BURNING was fantastic. One of my favorite books. That Drew doesn’t have a publishing contract makes zero sense.Josh Stallingshttp://joshstallings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-831552075372013852019-02-07T09:27:44.120-05:002019-02-07T09:27:44.120-05:00fuck youfuck youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-20517312951133105312019-02-07T09:21:16.723-05:002019-02-07T09:21:16.723-05:00He should have edited "armoire" to "...He should have edited "armoire" to "chifforobe"<br />I'll second All the Bridges Burning. great book.<br />Thomas Pluckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008022962076648740noreply@blogger.com
