[Stylist] [stylist] Self Publishing, Sarah's Question

[Miss Thea]

Hi, Linda.
At present, I'm using Tellwell, and each little thing costs. Even when, 
after my editor sent suggestions and I incorporated those suggestions and 
made a better, but longer story, they charged me 300 bucks plus for the 
extra words.
They offer all kinds of marketing services. But again, everything costs so 
much that I don't know if I'll ever make back my investment, let alone 
profit.
Since I can't get a refund, I've told them I'll work with them on this first 
Lucy book.
After that, I'm certain I'll give LDL a call.
Does LDL offer marketing services, or is this something you do yourself?
Thea

The editorial team from Colorado is David and Leonore Dvorkin.
They are DLD Books. They specialize in working with blind writers.
My 2nd book turned out to be absolutely stunning. The cover alone has a
presence that sells the book before one even opens it, usually.
I'll be using them for my 3rd book which is now in development with my
end-date goal of December to get it off to the  editors.
If you want to know more about this amazing editorial team you can visit
their site at:
www.dldbooks.com
To see my book:  http://www.dldbooks.com/lyndalambert

I can highly recommend  them for editorial work, honest and fair pricing;
commitment to getting you book out in a timely manner, and close
communications from beginning to end product.

Hello Sarah and Others,

I think the key to your answer is in whom you find as an editor, and
therein is an interesting conundrum. I just published my anthology on
Smashwords.com but ended up hiring a Finishing Editor through a
writing group I belong to. This person has medical editing/publishing
experience, but took this on as a one-time project because she needed
the funds and I needed an editor fast and snappy. My other editor had
health concerns befall that prevented her from completing our
agreement. I know someone here likes a couple from Colorado who have
published blind authors, and their name escapes me. Someone else uses
Lulu.com. As stated, until convinced, the answer is in the editor. By
the way, you can get the job done for maybe 50% of what the experts
say is the going rate if you network, connect, and "do your time" in a
solid writing critique group like the Internet Writing Workshop. I
tried a hire your own freelancer and almost got screwed. I believe my
"higher power" too had a hand in editor choice in the end!
