Are you writing a book? Are some of these sentences awkward but you don't know why? Michelle Lowry's book, Self-Editing for Indie Authors, can help. Her short, yet powerful guide, will differentiate between "that" and "which", identify nouns people mistakenly use as verbs, and explain when to use which pronoun such as me, myself, or I. Lowry's book is easy to understand as she provides clear examples. You'll readily be able to correct, edit, and revise your own book or any other writing. A comprehensive resource list is provided, which by itself, is useful. Are you a novice in writing? No worries. Michelle Lowry offers her services as a professional editor. I highly recommended Self-Editing for Indie Authors to writers who want to improve. My favorite quote: "Editing, like writing, is a skill that can be learned. Sure, it requires some talent, and sometimes instinct." - Michelle Lowry For more reviews, visit http://www.McNeilsReviews.com

Thank you for bringing this book to our attention. I find that I have to run through my stories and chapters three or four times to weed out all the errors that my dictation system throws in with sound alike words. Fortunately, I have been seeped in many years of English courses where I learned some of the basics that you show above. As a result, I have been able to edit several books for others (rewriting some parts and even a whole chapter ending one book properly).

While I have someone editing my work right now, I am as guilty of making mistakes as anyone else and rely on others to point them out for me when I can't spot them. I encourage every author that posts here to run through their postings a couple of times before posting to clean up obvious errors.
