I hope my editor will be just like you. :-)<br /><br />However, I don't think it's true for all editors because there are subpar books being published. Even bestselling authors have stinkeroos. Is anyone even bothering to edit them anymore, or does the publisher just want to slap the brand name on and send it out? It sure feels like that sometimes...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-20590156731984930842012-08-24T18:55:58.801-04:002012-08-24T18:55:58.801-04:00Glad Nathan B. recommended this post!Glad Nathan B. recommended this post!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384828861243430155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-75197080205294136142012-08-21T03:45:18.664-04:002012-08-21T03:45:18.664-04:00A very good and well thought out premise, my thoug...A very good and well thought out premise, my thoughts based on what you have said, is as follows. I should keep writing, but dont get too upset when your work hits the proverbial wheels of publishing if they appear to slow down.. I have chosen POD for most of work and my published works are doing okay. My drive is simply because I enjoy telling - spiritual suspense, bibilical stories.Andrew David Doylehttp://www.orbisavalon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-70788257925369225102012-08-20T13:57:39.275-04:002012-08-20T13:57:39.275-04:00This article is interesting, accurate and informat...This article is interesting, accurate and informative.

Even if you wish to stay purely an author, it is useful to experience it once. The last couple of years I have been learning the publishing ropes. It has and continues to be a tremendous learning experience. It has rounded me in so many ways and made me a much more confident author.Rusty Bieselehttp://www.childrenofsophista.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-68005149285451001662012-08-19T23:22:27.010-04:002012-08-19T23:22:27.010-04:00I love this post.
