      BusyBeingMom Thank you! No, I actually went through a Texas based publishing company called True Visions Publications.

    Thank you, Stephanie! I'm having a hard time finding a poetry editor. Where can I find a editor for poetry and what type of editing would you advise for a book of abstract poetry?

    • @thelifeofawriter
      @thelifeofawriter  8 років тому +1

      That's a great question, I'm not entirely certain that there's an editor specifically for poetry. Do you have an idea of the areas you'd want an editor to look at? It's possible that my editor may be able to help you.

      +thelifeofawriter I'm pretty positive I'll need a basic copyedit; spelling, punctuation, syntax, and basic facts. However, I'm trying to decide on whether I need a line edit also. Line edit would help me with word flow. Funny enough, I am the poet, I'm supposed to have the "word flow" part down and I feel like I do lol What do you think?

    My target audience is 40 and up for my Romance novel.. But someone younger could enjoy it as well.

    is 32,000 words considered enough for an autobiography ebook? I don't know if that would make it competitive or not. Can you help?

    • @thelifeofawriter
      @thelifeofawriter  4 роки тому

      For a memoir you would ideally want to get to 70,000 words, but if you're self-publishing you might be able to get away with a lower word count.

    Great information! Do you help with query letters and pitches? Thank you!

      To a publishing company or agent? Yes, I can provide guidance. I don't write them for the author, but I can provide feedback.
