Testimonials
“Refreshing, witty, and personable, The Indie Author's Guide to Book Editing is a clear, concise overview of the myriad aspects of editing ... Examples use Zombies, Star Trek, and wookies to illustrate salient points. I'm an indie writer who has struggled through a *lot* of dry, monotone guides to writing: how refreshing to see an editing guide that brings both expertise and personalty to the mix. Highly recommended!”
—Maia Sepp, author of The Migraine Mafia
“Lest you think editing is a dry topic, I can vouch for her sense of humor. Consider her explanation of why we spell out numbers in the text of a book as opposed to using numerical digits: 'The spelled-out numbers look like they belong in the sentence, while the digits stand out like a Wookiee at a nude beach.' C'mon, is there ever an inappropriate moment for Star Wars humor?”
—David Bruns, author of The Dream Guild Chronicles
“I thought I'd read everything there is to know about editing. Then I discovered this book. It breaks down the editing process into simple steps and explains editing/publishing jargon. There's also some very handy tips on grammar. I'd say the book isn't just for those who are self-publishing (indie authors) - it's a useful reference guide for anyone trying to edit their own work. I'll certainly be referring back again. I only wish it was a printed copy to add to my reference shelf!”
