Today from the IPNE Conference: New Word - "frienditor" There's a big difference between professional editing and having a friend look over your work. Friends are wonderful, but their service is better labeled as beta reading than editing. @ipne.org #booksky #author #editor #publishing #editing

You’ll learn simple, actionable strategies to organize critical information, safeguard income, and ensure your publishing business can survive anything life throws your way.
