Professional editing for self-published books
I really want to put my story up on Smashwords, but I am aware that I am not my own best editor. I have had a lot of my amazing friends look through previous versions of my book, but I will need another 'final' edit before this version is ready to go. I think it might be time to offer payment (there are only so many favours one can ask after all!!) My mum was a technical writer until recently, so maybe she'll let me work out a contract with her :P Being that I don't have much money... maybe we can do a 'half of whatever I earn on this book' sort of deal? It would be fun having mum as my agent / editor (since she kinda does that stuff anyway). We'll see what she says =P

Wish I could help! But then it'd become an excuse not to do any of my own work...(In theory anyway, because I can't get much work done when I'm busy not falling off hills).
ReplyDeleteHello darling - yes I would have loved it to be you but I simply could not interrupt your studies with such an all consuming request =P I am, on the other hand, excited well in advance of being able to claim a Doctor of Volcanology as my muse and dear friend *hugs*
