A few more rounds of edits on my next book and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still need to do just a little more research to be sure I have all of the latest information. (So if the publishing industry would just stop changing for a couple weeks? Thanks!)
I’m excited because of the possibilities of this book. Not just in terms of sales or being able to offer it at my seminars, either. I’m excited that it will help a lot of writers get a handle on the industry and allow them to chose the best path to follow.
I have a wonderful editor I use, but I think once I have this book complete, I’d like a test reader, too. So if any of you have been through the process of a published book and promotions and would like read my book, please let me know. It’s not long - 35,000 words or so. I just want to be sure I don’t have any glaring omissions or sections that don’t make sense. Some of the information I’ve known for so long, I tend to forget not everyone knows it!
Thanks again Alex for this wonderful group.

It must be a wonderful feeling to be so close to the end, especially knowing that what you're doing will help other writers.

LOL No kidding. The industry is making me dizzy. :P
Good luck with the book!!!
If you don't want a quick turnaround--like a day or two or three, I'll be happy to take a look at your book. I've become a slow reader in my old age so honestly, it might take me at least a week with all I have going.

It must be a great feeling to be coming up on the end. Congrats! What genre is your book? If it is something I normally read, I'd be happy to read for you
I don't think I'm qualified as offer myself as a reader but I'm rooting for you to get everything finished and out the door because the industry makes another sharp left turn.

Good idea Diane. There is a lot of info that many writers out there can use. Things change so much and having a resources to provide shortcuts is a help. :-)

It must be so difficult to write a book you might have to constantly update to keep it current.
