Hi Katherine,

I'm definitely in agreement with your mission statement, as each key point is critical in order to compete with traditionally published authors.  My free-lance editor is in the final six chapters of my memior, then I must decide which publishing/POD house will do my work justice.  I will be anxious to see other replies to this topic.

I’ve been out-of-touch for a while, due to major computer problems, but I’m delighted to be back!

My blog this week is, The Self-Publishing Jitters of a Perfectionist . . . Can anyone relate?

As my journey will soon take a leap into the unknown, I pose a major question I hope a few of you will be able to answer.
