Review: A Short, but Great Book For Any Author
Rating: 4 out of 5

A lot of the material in this book can be found free online in author blogs, but having it altogether in one place is nice. I loved that Kristen mentioned that even professional publishing houses that have manuscripts seen by 4-5 editors still have typos – because they do. It’s not okay to publish a book without editing it, but if you wait for perfection it will never happen.Ms. Eckstein also shared some great tips on how to prepare your manuscript before sending it to a professional editor. These formatting tips are great even if you’re self-editing. Even if you know you aren't going to hire (or can’t afford) a professional editor, you’ll still benefit from the content in that section.
