INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR, ROBIN BOWER
Q – What’s the main reason readers should buy this book?
A – It’s a very quick read (15 minutes!) at a great price and will give people new to writing and publishing an idea of the process from start to finish, the pros and cons of self-publishing v. traditional publishing, and arm them with some advice which they can find all in one place.
Q – What is an interesting piece of information readers can learn by reading this book?
A – I think the fundamental thing I want to stress, and this comes from many years in the business of writing and editing books, is that editing is key to a good product and you have to be able to analyze language to do that. The different stages a writer needs to go through may seem extensive, but all those stages are important for improving your writing, getting the best book you can possibly create so that it will be read widely, and make great sales.
Thanks for reading.
