You Need To Edit

Writing is my job.
I now write full time.
I take workshops and courses,
study sentence structures
and collect interesting words/phrases.
I’ve written over 100 published stories.
I read, on average, a romance novel a day,
tearing these stories apart.

I need editors… badly.
I normally complete 14 drafts of a romance novel.
This romance novel is edited by
three different people.
I often use beta readers and critique partners,
informal editors.

If a professional writer
such as myself
requires multiple drafts
and needs editors,
why are you sending first drafts
to prospective customers?

Run your marketing copy
and your pitches
by
at least one other person.
It will take a little bit of extra time
but it will also make a huge difference.

Seth Godin has a great post
on revisions
and the power of words.
