Editing is so much more than fixing typos. Well-edited text can make your ideas soar, help your readers engage with your words, and even save you from unexpected risks. But too often authors are nervous about engaging a professional editor. This session will clear up some of the myths and worries, covering the different types of editing, how to find the right editor for you, what you can expect from them, and how much it is likely to cost.

Selling books is all about making the cover attractive, getting the media interested, no? Well, no. Selling books is about data, that often technical stuff that accompanies the more glamorous aspects of publishing a book. Data can include reviews, an author biography and photo, a contents list, the price, page extent, a detailed synopsis and extract… and the more data (and the more accurate it is), the better the sales are likely to be. This session looks at the importance of data to self-publishing authors, and advises that it should be ignored at your peril.
