    Thank you for sharing that. I too have a book that I am working on. I intend to self publish, but I suspect that I shall need a professional editor when the time comes.

    Hey, Feyth, don't get discouraged. I've had two collections of stories pubbed ("Cruising the Green of Second Avenue," avail. at B&N) and LUCKILY had a terrific editor. After some four decades of writing and 40 stories published in the past five years, I'm STILL learning!

    Kudos for actually having it published. I'd say just go ahead and publish the rest, you might be sitting on a gold mine.

    Well, you did it, and are writing again, I think that's awesome :) I'm sure your book was great! If I ever did write one, I will have an editor :)

    All the best authors, whom I have heard talking about getting published agree, a good editor is essential. They almost all give credit and thanks to their editor in the acknowledgements.
