Writers who self-publish need to employ good editors/proofreaders to ensure their work is up to par. Glad you like my name :)"

An introduction to my e-book The Eight of Swords
Posted on February 6, 2012 at 9:53am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I wrote The Eight of Swords towards the end of last year. It was a story burning a hole in my head from the very moment I had the idea. I'm not a patient soul so despite the fact I'm supposed to be rewriting a novel I wrote years ago, I started on the short story idea as soon as I had some spare time.
It turned out well, so I decided to give it a go as an e-book and published it via Amazon…

This is my first blog post here and it's going to be short and sweet. I sat down to write this morning and then remembered I needed to get my profile page up and running on She Writes so have been preoccupied with that instead.

I'm wondering how writers who self-publish assure themselves that their work is up to par, so to speak? Did you hire (any of you who are reading this) an editor, have folks critique for you, etc, before deciding your work was ready for epublishing?
I'm a recent addition to She Writes, too. Keep me in mind as you find good stuff on the site!
