Writers in the Storm

By Lyn Horner

When I started looking into publishing with Amazon, my biggest questions were how to format my book, create a cover image and upload everything. However, there were also legal and financial matters to consider.

I read a great article last month that discussed the differences between Editing and Proofreading and (of course) I got to thinking about analogies could relate to writing. These rules apply whether you’re dealing with business documents, such as white papers, articles or novels.

Like most writers, I've always hung out with a boatload of other writers. That doesn’t mean that I saw much of other peoples’ works in progress until I coordinated a contest several years ago. This experience changed the way I see writing. Period.

I got to see firsthand what separates the Amateurs from the Professionals – the ability to both Edit and Proofread. In novel writing, editing is King and proofreading is Queen.

All of us at Writers In The Storm had so much FUN in April…did you? We had amazing guest posts (thanks Tara Taylor Quinn and Pamela Kaye Tracy!), the sweeping Safari Journal from Fae Rowen and some amazing blogs on Writing Craft.

How could we possibly top April’s Awesomeness, you might be asking yourself? We’ve already started with Lyn Horner’s post on going the e-pub route, the latest in her Publishing With Amazon series. There will be another blog from Lyn in the coming weeks so stay tuned…
