Self-Editing On A Penny: A Comprehensive Guide by Ashlyn Forge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
For NaNoWriMo and Camp Nano, I have written approximately 20 books, most of them 50K or more. But here I am, the worst editor ever. But I simply love the stories as they run from my brain to the keyboard. Hence, I need to read many more books like this to reach the next step.
This was an audiobook with Sandy Vernon (narrator), Faust Kells (narrator), and Ashlyn Forge (author and publisher). With the couple of voices, the listener stays focused on the topic at hand.
Can I say that this is all the right advice? No. I am not educated enough in the publishing end of writing. It does seem to have a lot of great ideas I will try to follow as I move along. But the title feels misleading, especially if we think we can get by on a penny. Certainly Ms. Forge’s book proves it can’t be done. Sadly, this retired person can’t afford a lot of the processes described here. Still, I did learn a lot and will keep trying to find answers.
