GUEST POST
Advice you have for aspiring writers.
If
you are writing with the sole purpose of seeing your name in print, my
advice to you is find something else to do. Writing can take over your
life. As Eugene Ionesco said, 'A writer never has a vacation. For a
writer life consists of writing or thinking about writing.' If you have a
passion for writing, what William McIlvanney calls 'an inexplicable
compulsion', accept that your writing will probably never be seen unless
you go to the trouble and expense of self-publishing. But there is a
chance that your book will be a success, read by millions of people. It
happened to me. It could happen to you. So work hard to make your
manuscript as good as it possibly can be. Then put it away until it has
left your mind completely. After this break, revise the manuscript
before enlisting the services of a professional editor. Spend as much as
you can paying for the best help you can afford. One of the benefits of
having a mainstream publisher is that your publisher will provide you
with the right editor for your work. Doing this for yourself will be
more difficult, requiring some research which you can carry out while
taking a break from writing. Although if you are anything like me, you
will be writing a second book while taking a break from the first one!
