5 Experts You Need When Writing Your 1st Novel.

1) The Editor: The editor will check if your manuscript makes sense, highlight contradictions, provide advice on what to omit and where the story requires further development. Although the editor won’t be the last line of defense when it comes to grammar and spelling, they will flag most errors.

2) The Cover Designer: The cover designer will provide the front & back cover of your novel. The question here is how do you brief the designers? There are many ways. One is to ask different illustrators to read the first chapter of your novel before deciding what the cover should look like. 

3) The Proofreader: The proofreader will focus on ensuring that the content is print ready. Before sending a manuscript to the proofreader, read it twice over, then put it through Grammarly.  After that you can listen to the story using the dictation feature in Microsoft Word a few times. The reason it’s good to listen to a story is because our brains know how to make something seem correct when in actual fact it’s incorrect.

4) The Typographer: The typographer will help with the layout and content of your novel, to make it look professional. Find someone who can format it in a way that it will be suitable for laptops, mobile phones, and kindle devices. In seeking a typographer, find someone who is recommended by a printing company. 

5) The Printer:  To find the best one for you, you can check the credits section of a book with aesthetics you like. As always, compare prices, but know that some of the cheaper ones can often offer a lower quality, inferior product.

Here's No.6

6) The Book Promoter: It doesn't matter if you wrote the greatest novel ever and offered it for free, you still have to engage in marketing to achieve success. An author's job is writing and authors should carry on writing and get more novels up for sale. Having a selection of books available gives the reader choice, and readers who like one book will go on to buy a second or third, naturally bumping sales. Recommended is Lady Sara's Book Service who will do the marketing for you.

Wednesday's Blurb.....

  After a lifetime of dealing with what she was told was depression, “Julie” found that her problem wasn't all mysterious and uncontrollable chemical reactions. Medically identified sensitivities and/or allergies to foods and environmental conditions seemed to have a strong correlation to the same emotional and mental states that she had experienced throughout the years as depression. These were sometimes accompanied by so-called typical allergy symptoms, but in some cases those medically-recognized symptoms were missing. In desperation she reached out to family member and author, Sherilyn Powers, who had been exploring her own unusual reactions to foods and environment. Together they explored the connection between allergies and depression enabling Julie to take control of her life after fifty years of helplessness. 
  This book is a journey of discovery and search for medical studies to help explain how every day things could be related to reactions like panic attacks, depression, uncontrollable crying, brain fog, body aches and pains and many more, when the popularly accepted allergic/sensitive reactions only include symptoms such as itchy eyes, a runny nose, and hives.
