FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Ebook About Editing is Immediate Bestseller
MILFORD, CT -- A new ebook about book editing was on three Amazon bestseller lists within a day after publication, outranking many other books in its field!
Editing is an option for authors who use self-publishing companies or publish independently. Some authors skip editing—either out of ego, ignorance, or economic necessity. This is usually a big mistake.
Editing can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Many authors—who have been enticed by ads that promise “FREE” publishing or publishing packages priced as low as $199—may have no budget for editing or no appreciation for its importance.
Author Michael N. Marcus said: "While it’s important to have your book edited by a pro—I realize that you might not do that. So, this book has two purposes:
1. To help you make your book as good as possible to minimize the work that has to be done by others, to keep the editing cost down.
2. To help you make your book as good as possible in case you will be the only editor."
