I'm in the middle of Galactic Startup, can't put it down since I bought it yesterday. Awesome story. But did you have a proof-reader go over it? "Were" (the verb) written "we're". "then" is mistakenly used instead of "than" in many places, it's pretty distracting as it happens so regularly thorough the book it forces the mind to constantly trip on it, re-read a couple of times...

Brian Whiting Yes I did, Those listed on the front cover the "Special thank yous" were my beta readers. Plus I had the editor go over it. I take full responsibility…moreYes I did, Those listed on the front cover the "Special thank yous" were my beta readers. Plus I had the editor go over it. I take full responsibility in that error. Its all mine, and my lack of comprehension of critical English skills. lol I am directing my attention to that issue on book two, which I will have finished mid day tomorrow. I pull my beta readers from a website called upwork, I pay them. Book 2 beta readers just handed me their reports about a week ago. Ive been making re writes and changes since. I'll be sending it to my editor hopefully tomorrow evening for the final look over. Then its off to book design and publishing.

Thanks for the heads up, you won't see that issue in the next book.

I am new to writing and i work a complex full time job, I dream of when I can quit work and take come creative writing classes and sharpen up my story writing. My beta readers say book two is a huge improvement, but that might just be the money talking. Its hard to know if your own writing is any good. I guess we will see soon. Thanks for caring by the way, and reading my book! (less)

Book 5 Progress

This has been an interesting and frustrating experience. I had written about half the book and am still on the lookout for a great editor that can fix my terrible grammar mistakes.

I let the book sit a few weeks with no progress in writing it, as life had got in the way. When I needed to get back into writing I decided to read it first... I was not happy with it, at all. It fells like I paid $120 Read more of this blog post »
