Hi Sarah. What single piece of advice has served you best as a writer?
Sarah Stuart
"This book could use an editor." It came from an anonymous reviewer and I didn't believe it at first. Hadn't I, and a writer friend, gone through my debut novel three times each? We had, so what could possibly be wrong with it?
Not a lot as it turned out, but having it professionally done improved it in so many little ways I would never publish again without employing a professional. it isn't cheap but it's worth every penny.
You can safely save money with DIY formatting and the photograph for my lovely new cover cost $11, but not with editing and proofreading.
