Lessons Of A Self-published Author Valuable Lessons Learned From Writing & Publishing A Book Guest Post By PJ Peterson
Lessons I have learned since I self-published my first book.
1. Professional editing is a must. I didn’t discover developmental editing until my second novel, which I started writing the month after I self-published Blind Fish Don’t Talk. I don’t recall how it happened, but I stumbled onto Reedsy.com and hired a talented editor. She politely but firmly pointed out the holes in my story and gave me excellent suggestions for writing a stronger one.

Most would keep silent, hoping that they’d never be found by such a monster, but I prayed for his touch every night.
