Editing process
- Easy to manage
- Suggestions that make sense – can negotiate if there is one line or plot point you want to keep
Tips for new authors
- Strong relationship with editors
- Be very professional, hit every deadline
- Be prepared to be an author – website, professional author photographs, biography. `Be that author` – professional and available
- Have links to reviews on your website
- Good idea to maintain own website (or a good friend) – don’t invest a huge amount of money up front, and don’t let an external person have control of it
- Bloggers are a good source of promotion, get good relationships with them
