S.W. Raine asked S.W. Raine:

Question from release day interview with Sapphire Ink Press: What is your writing and editing process? Did you make any changes between how you self-published The Techno Mage and how you self-published Rise of the Sky Pirate?

S.W. Raine I'm a very bare-bones drafter. I have to get it all out of my head first, then I have to add the description, internal dialogues, embellishments, etc.

I typically draft, revise, send it to my alpha readers, edit, send it to my beta readers, edit again, send it to my editor, make corrections, send to proofreader, corrections again, then I'm done.

For the self-publishing process, I hired a author coach who walked me through a 12 step process for The Techno Mage, and I basically repeated that process for Rise of the Sky Pirate.
