If books weren't powerful, they wouldn't be trying so hard to ban them.

One of the best things you can do as an author who's self-editing, imho.

(If reading it aloud yourself is too tedious, making your computer read it out loud for you is a decent substitute.)

This is one of the hardest things to learn as an editor and/or writer - and also one of the most vital.

I know, it takes forever, and you may hate the sound of your own voice, but it's worth it.

A lot of authors feel self-conscious about self-publishing, or are worried they should. But there's absolutely no need to. Self-publishing is a perfectly valid and legitimate path - and there are a lot of very good reasons to walk it.

Editing isn't easy, especially for something as long as a book! Piece out the work to make it more manageable and more efficient.

This is one of the biggest pieces of advice I give my authors. Whether they're official beta-readers, people from a writing group, or just a friend or family member, this is one of the easiest and most actionable pieces of feedback they can give you.

#WritingTip from a professional #editor: Take the time to do this bit of setup from the beginning/as you go. It'll pay off in the end. This is especially true if you're writing in science fiction and fantasy, and need to come up with the names for a whole world's worth of ships, weapons, spells, etc

An editor who only gives corrections isn't doing everything they should to help you grow!
