@ThisisTatiJo Two books is already a big achievement! Have you had a chance to look at how you're presenting and promoting them? Sometimes the right changes can make a difference.
@SOOPLLC I think a story needs some form of tension to keep readers invested, but conflict doesn't always have to involve arguments or big dramatic events. Sometimes an internal struggle can be just as powerful.
@JaxCooperBooks Putting your work out there for others to critique takes real courage. That vulnerability is part of what makes the creative journey so challenging.
Imagine discovering that your main character's eye colour changes halfway through your novel.
Would you notice immediately, or would it take another reader to point it out?
Continuity is worth checking. Have you experienced this?

@SpencerPI Maybe try writing a short summary of each chapter as you go. It could help you see where the story is heading and where things start getting confusing.
@wizardgirl15 Starting your first book series is a big step!
What genre are you writing, and have you already started preparing your manuscript for publication? I'd be glad to connect and see where I might be able to help.
@authorjoyshaw Not every writer has the same resources, and that shouldn't stop them from getting their stories out into the world. There should be more accessible ways for writers to get the support and feedback they need.
@SoClaireMacD Great! Paperback and eBook require slightly different formatting. I have a few samples of my previous formatting work that I can show you so you can get an idea of the quality and layout. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to see them.
Authors, which editing problem do you find hardest to spot in your own manuscript?
A repeated phrase, inconsistent details or sentences that don't flow naturally?
I'm curious about your experience.

@SoClaireMacD You're almost at the publishing stage! What genre is your book, and are you looking for formatting for both Kindle and paperback, or just one format?
Writers and authors, let's connect!
Working on a manuscript or need help with editing? Need support with other aspects of your book too?
Feel free to send me a DM. I'd be happy to connect and see how I can help.
Let's grow together!

@ps7insight Reading fills the mind with ideas, but writing turns those ideas into something meaningful. Both really do go hand in hand. What have you been reading lately?
