Editors with an “s”?
To the published authors, did you edit your book yourself hire a single editor or hire multiple editors? I’m curious what has worked for y’all. Any insight on the process, cost, timeframe, etc. is welcome.

I wrote my book myself, with periodic advice from a paid book coach and several very helpful reviews/feedback on individual chapters by friends and family. Then I had a copy editor review, followed by a proofreader. Time consuming but very well worth it!
See you Saturday?
It's our biggest livestream of the year! You'll get to meet some of our Book Launchers team, win prizes, ask your questions and have a lot of fun! It's at 10am PST on Saturday and goes for 2 hours. The link to the live is in the calendar (or right here: https://youtube.com/live/o70YO1RvaNk). I hope to see you there.

New reward training just loaded into the classroom
Back in April, we did a 2 hour training on all things Audiobooks. We covered the should you, could you, and the how-to details of audiobooks. It's now training that will unlock for those who are in the group for 45 days and participating. For new people, there is also a training course that unlocks as you comment, like, and post in the community ... so say hello and make a friend. 😁

Thanks Julie. So… the training unlocks once I’ve been in this group for 45 days? Is that right?
Include hardcover?
I’m planning my business self-help Uh-Oh! book launch to include paperback and e-book versions. I’d welcome opinions on whether to also include/offer a hardcover version. What’s your experience and advice? Thanks!

@Katerina Ferrara thanks
Anyone else ready to get their first book done?
Hello. I've been trying to write a book for many years now, but keep getting in my own way. It's time though! And I'm taking the first bad draft approach, i.e. better to get the first book out self-published to get over the hurdle and then go from there. Looking forward to getting some guidance on support on making that happen, and making it good enough. :)

Another Skool post quotes Anne Lamott and first drafts. Her "Short Assignments" chapter in Bird by Bird inspired me to keep writing in focused, small bursts: "all I have to do is write down as much as I can see through a one-inch picture frame." She tells of her 10-year-old younger brother, panicking because his term paper on birds was due the next morning and he had yet to start writing. "Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, budddy. Just take it bird by bird.'" Kinda like saying the longest journey begins with a single small step.
