Quality Issues Are Systems Issues

When I was working with
a large New York Publisher,
I was receiving complaints
from readers
about the quality of my stories.

My editors with this publisher
were overworked.
They didn’t have the time
to give my stories
a quality edit.

I couldn’t self-edit
any better
than I already was.

So I hired an editor.
I changed my publishing process,
my systems.
And the quality greatly improved.
The complaints stopped.

As Seth Godin
shares
“Persistent quality problems
are a systemic issue,
and if you’re not working
on your system,
you’re not going to
improve it.”

If you have quality issues,
take a closer look
at the systems
you have in place.
Ask yourself,
“How can I improve them?”
