Hello Everyone!

Hope you’re all doing well.

I have been revising my Traveled Hearts series most of the spring and summer. When I say I’ve been revising, I mean myself and a team of professionals. When I first published Traveled Hearts I was pretty green about what it exactly needed before it was ready for the world. I soon learned with gut-wrenching clarity- reviews – that it was not. I looked to professionals to help me revise it but learned a hard lessen in finding the right indie pros. Not all indie editors and proofreaders are equal. It can be money ill spent if you don’t do some serious research into who you hire. Luckily, I have found a team of professionals who are helping me get the books to their very best. Some of the revisions are things a reader may not even notice and some are darn right obvious – but missed by previous pros. It’s been an eye opener!

I’m so proud of my Traveled Hearts series and want it to shine! It has come at a cost and I’m writing this to inform indie authors– Make sure you have the best version of your book done before publishing. Purchase a physical author’s copy of your book and read it before it goes live on Amazon or where you intend to sell it. You’d be surprised at how different it may read as you become the audience.

There are a lot of great youtube channels on the how to publish your book and I love the free advice from those who take the time to share their knowledge.

I know how tired you can get after several drafts of your book. That’s the time to step away, then take another look and – Send it off to a professional developmental editor!

I love editing and revising, but this has been a lot and it’s cost me . Expensive hobby? …maybe, but hey, some people invest in toy trains… dance lessons… collectables… 🙂

I love to write. I have to write. It brings me joy! What brings me greater joy is sharing my novels with those who love a juicy, romantic, adventurous, and compelling read.

Happy writing and creating!

Peace and Love,

Veronica
