No, but I'll do that! Thank youKEW wrote:Have you read any books on the craft of writing? There are several out there, and most are available from libraries.
Have you taken any courses, in real life or online? Be careful though, and make sure they have a quality instructor, and they are not overcharging you.
Have you joined any writing communities? Either online or real-life or both? There are several places you can workshop your stories, get valuable critiques and learn from other authors.
I recommend as many of the above as you can invest time and (if necessary) money into.
ETA: I guess I should have looked at the time stamp on this discussion. It is a bit old, to say the least.
Let me ask you... how many books have you sold? Because I can tell you that unless you're a celebrity or you're already an established author, most editors won't even consider a book that's full of typos and technical errors. It's critical to the new author that there be zero, count 'em, zero errors in a submission for consideration.agoodbook03 wrote:It's cool. Don't sweat it. I do stuff like that all the time. Writing is about stories and how they make people feel. That technical stuff is for the editor to worry about

Seriously, tell the story you want to tell, and have someone with a literary or educated background read it. Then, accept their input, good or bad.
