The title of this review says it. ARK ROYAL was hard to put down. I didn't let it keep me up all night. I went to bed about 2 am. Then I got up about 8 and finished it.The writing in this book could be improved, and I'm not talking about "colour" instead of "color." A good editor from a brick and mortar publisher could polish the prose. For that matter, I need one, too. But they're not available to us indies. They won't dirty their hands with us, and they would probably get fired.It might be a good idea for Amazon to hire commercial editors for salaries they can't resist and make them available to independent writers at a reasonable price.Another thing Amazon could do is train their own editors and make them available to us for a fee. They could make a profit on the sales of editing services, and then make more profits on the increased sales of books.
