That's very kind of you to say, but your success is based on your imagination, strong writing skills, and the hard work you've put into marketing your books. Your ARC readers know it's the story that matters, even more than the editing. πŸ˜‰

β€˜Wow, what a book, what a read. This book pulls you in and guides you on a rollercoaster of emotion, love, hate, anger, fear, longing and so much more. Every time I picked it up to continue I swiftly read a chapter or two in a matter of moments. And the ending. OMG.’ – Erik

The Hidden Risks of Over-Editing Your Own Manuscript Discover the hidden risks of over-editing your manuscript and learn when self-editing stops helping and starts harming your book.

Many writers believe relentless revision strengthens a book. In truth, too much self-editing often weakens clarity, confidence, and emotional impact.

Knowing when to stop is as important as knowing how to revise.

Today is #DrSeussDay, which always reminds me of my sister, Karen, who passed away in 2014 at age 48. She loved Dr. Seuss's books and read them to her children, who were just about to turn 12 when she died. Her favourite was Oh, the Places You'll Go! So it has a special place in my heart, too.
