Self-Editing for Indie Authors
21 Quick and Easy Tips
for
Better Writing, Positive Reviews and More Sales
So you’ve written a book. Congratulations! Now you’re ready to self publish.
Or are you?
- Is your book free of typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors?
- Do you have a bunch of misplaced modifiers wreaking havoc on your prose?
- Are all your subjects agreeing with their verbs?
- Is faulty parallelism wrecking your sentence structure?
- Did you use compliment when you meant complement?
If your book is suffering from any of these errors, what’s going to happen when people start reviewing it?
As an indie author, you rely on reviews to help boost your book’s momentum, and encourage sales. If half your reviews are accounts of errors and stumbling blocks that ruined the reading experience, you’re going to sell fewer books.
The worst part is, those errors are completely avoidable.
If you’re starting out as an indie author, you may not yet be able to afford a professional editor. Most entrepreneurs start out that way—on a shoestring budget, and doing as much of the work themselves as possible. Often, it’s out of necessity, or maybe they just have that DIY spirit.
But let’s be honest—not every writer is an editor. That’s where this book comes in.
Self-Editing for Indie Authors contains 21 quick and easy tips to help you edit your work, and publish a better book. Better content leads to positive reviews. And those positive reviews lead to more sales.
Don’t let your great storytelling be overshadowed by poor spelling and bad grammar. Follow the 21 tips, and the self-editing instructions in this book, and you’ll be on your way to better writing, positive reviews, and more sales!
