Chapter 11: In the Eye of the Beholder

In the world of self-publishing, authors are finding increasingly simple ways to present their writing to an audience. If one can market a work correctly, then the hassles of finding a literary agent or publishing house are nonexistent. However, even with this rise of independence in writers, one should not forget a very important step in the quest for publication: an editor. Novel writers are not alone in this need. Whether your project is a book, a dissertation, or a blog, all forms of writing deserve a proper professional edit. Allowing an editor to smooth things over has several benefits: it adds a touch of professionalism, a dash of credibility, and improves overall reader experience.
