Editors

There is no question that editors are absolutely necessary for a novel. No author is an island, so to speak, and I don't just mean Beta Readers. Editors are a must. Sure Beta Readers can give feedback, and even catch typos. But an editor is more than just that. They make suggestions and make sure that you are writing your novel correctly.

And for my first novel, Killer of Killers, my editors did that. I wish they did it more than once. They only did it once because, I think, they believed the writing was already there. They liked how I addressed the issues that they brought up, (mainly POV issues,) and let it pass from there.

But there were other things, and even some POV details needed improving, but overall, as a final product Killer of Killers is a well written novel, in large part because of the editors.

And The Vase, too. Just waiting to see the publishers final comments on that one. I will keep you posted.
