I am in a critique group and even with us going over each others novels over and over again, we know we need an editor that will check EVERYTHING.

I read so many self-pubs where the book starts out really strong and then just falls apart. An editor could probably have saved the book by keeping the author on track, making sure that every scene had meaning and advanced the plot, and that the characters remained consistent. <br /><br />It seems like many self-pubbed authors have accepted the necessity of copy editing, but they still don't understand how important it is to have an editor that will focus on the actual story and plot, and/or they aren't willing to listen to anyone else when it comes to making structural changes in their stories.

I'm sorry the character development in the second half of the novel was lacking. I'm a sucker for romance, and I had thought it was hinted at in the synopsis, but obviously that's book 2... Awesome review honey, hope your next read is more to your liking. Book Blatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437469743002943036noreply@blogger.com
