The Strange Process of Editing
Over the past year of editing and publishing, I’ve realized the process has fallen into some pretty obvious patterns. The entire publishing process is wild, and on that side of things, I’ve noticed a lot of emotional patterns. (This is dramatic, guys.) But we’re not going to talk about that – maybe at a later date, that’ll be a series. 😊 But as for editing, I’ve fallen into a routine that seems to work decently for me.

Wow, I had no clue there was an actual Indie Author Day until a few days ago. But I will take any chance I get to talk about some of my favorite authors and books! The vast majority of indie books I’ve read are extremely well-done and deserve just as much publicity as any traditionally published books. In fact, since indie publishing gives authors much more freedom than traditional, indie books are usually more creative and hard-hitting. So if you’re new to indie authors, give them a try! The sheer variety of indie books is epic – as you will see in just a second.
