Good editors will not only catch common grammar and proofreading mistakes, but will also point out your bad habits. Using an editor will ensure that you are publishing the highest quality product possible and will help you improve your writing. If you don&#39;t have the budget to have your entire manuscript edited by an experienced professional, Willis suggests submitting just a few chapters. The feedback you receive from this sampling will likely expose your bad habits, allowing you to make further revisions on your own. Willis also advises writers to maintain consistency in the formatting of your manuscript. If your editor or typesetter doesn&#39;t catch Inconsistencies, they can impact the readability of your book once published.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-73/Common-Manuscript-Mistakes-Aspiring-Authors-Make-When-Self_2D00_Publishing-Their-Book.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Common-Manuscript-Mistakes-Aspiring-Authors-Make-When-Self_2D00_Publishing-Their-Book.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
