Thoughts on Thursday: Your Blog Post Recommendations

Your Blog Post Recommendations

This is another post inspired by Carrie @ The Mad Reviewer that is fantastic for promoting those really good posts you see out in the blogosphere.

This is a blog post recommendation thread.  It works like this: Give a shout-out to a favorite post someone has written!

There are only a few rules for this:

1. You must recommend someone else’s post. It doesn’t have to be book related.
2. Give the link to the post and a brief description about why it’s a good post.
3. Be nice and kind.

Voilá! It’s that easy.

 

My Recommendation:

Editing in the Self-Publishing World

This is a great post explaining the importance of editing in today’s self-publishing world. We can all probably name at least one book that needed something done a little bit better, be it from something as simple as needing to be proofread or some major rehauling work on the characters or plot. Nicole’s post explains the four different types of editors and what their roles are in the process of polishing a manuscript for publication. The post also touches on some of the more realistic practicalities for self-published authors. If you’ve ever wanted to see the process a book goes through before final publication, this is a post I’d recommend.
