#NGAGLessons

Before I #queried in earnest, I hired a professional #editor. Two, if you count a friend who beta read & just so happened to BE an editor. The editor I hired formerly taught #CreativeWriting at an Ivy, and between #developmental and #copyediting cost nearly $1k.

Some say a publisher will provide an editor. Perhaps true, but I wanted an edge. She was worth every penny, esp. when I decided to go indie.

LESSON 2: Hire an editor.

Verdict:👍
