I know how to fix it in theory, but I can't yet identify *all* the filtering words.

I...Annie, Carmen, thanks for a great blog post.<br /><br />I'd hoped working with beta readers and self-editing numerous times would be enough when I'm preparing to self-publish, but there's still too much room for fixable errors. Also, beta readers (especially writer friends!) will find the typos, missed words, and the like but seem less likely to comment on the bigger structural story stuff which is where I suspect I really need the help! <br /><br />Think I'll be contacting you for a quotation, Annie...Autumn Macarthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15376992769171145754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41818993336953458.post-38539195291054541252012-11-20T02:17:08.622-08:002012-11-20T02:17:08.622-08:00You were absolutely correct, Maria!

But it is absolutely critical to ensure the work is error free and structurally correct. I have had my first hands on self publishing experience this week, editing an erotic contemporary romance for a colleague. We deliberated over every letter of the 44,000 words!

I loved this post, Annie. I...Hi Annie and Carmen,<br /><br />I loved this post, Annie. I'm taking all this great information in. I automatically edit stuff all the time. A writer friend pubbed her novel independently on Amazon. On reading it, published and all that it was I noticed 'correctable stuff'. She had written something like 'Mary was a Shop Assistant' when 'Mary was a shop assistant' was what I'd have written. So being the helpful person/interfering busybody that I am, I mailed her. I was quite surprised when she returned my mail with a curt 'no, the capitals are quite correct' and went on to list all the people to whom she'd shown her book to who had loved it and never said anything negative. She also added that she'd quite understand if I didn't want to continue reading the book. She has published more short stories than I have, so I took it that she knew what she was talking about.<br /><br />That'll teach me to keep my mouth shut in future unless asked for my opinion. But tell me Annie, was I correct about the capitals or was I wrong?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41818993336953458.post-21163244407283218622012-11-19T20:57:14.971-08:002012-11-19T20:57:14.971-08:00Wonderful post full of vital information for aspir...Wonderful post full of vital information for aspiring authors. <br /><br />You are a true talent Annie.
