BTS044, Revision is Like Pulling Teeth and Working with a Professional Editor

The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips

Send us a Text Message.

Revision is like pulling teeth. Well, that's how it feels to me at the moment. I'm so over revising this story. But at the same time, I feel so insecure about this novella. Long gone is that innocent, naive Amelia, who was excited to publish her first piece of fiction. Perhaps I know better now. Or, more realistically, I'm more cynical. I know what awaits me if I screw up and publish a book with plot holes, however minor.
In this behind-the-scenes author diary episode, I discuss the highs and lows of my revision process, what prompted me to move into the professional editing phase and my struggles with writer's insecurity. Yes, spoiler alert, I'm riddled with it. And I share an exciting milestone with Le Villain Book Covers.
