The Third Week of Book Highlight of the Week... The Frugal Editor by Carolyn Howard-Johnson


I'm pleased to present the third week of my weekly profile of the Book Highlight of the Week. This week I'm presenting...



The Frugal Editor ~ Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success
by Carolyn Howard-Johnson

I had the privilege of connecting with Carolyn early on in my writing career via cyberspace and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. Carolyn always quick to provide sound and positive advice without being harsh. 

At the time not knowing how to go about thorough editing my own work before submitting my slaved over manuscript I gobbled up Carolyn's guidance in The Frugal Editor ~ Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success.

Like so many of my writer's guidance books, this one is earmarked and highlighted to the hilt for easy and often referenced book. Broken down into useful sections as to where you are in the editing process, it is a no nonsense book that will have the reader/writer more comfortable in the editing process. 


About Carolyn:
