Letting Go of Editing to Make the Leap to Publishing

The editing process can take months or years. If you’ve been working on your e-book for a long time, you might find it difficult to let go and complete the project. After all, there’s always another chapter that you can add or a couple of paragraphs that might work better in a different order or a few words that can be tweaked.

If you want your e-book to ever end up on the virtual shelves of a bookstore, you need to eventually stop editing. Your manuscript may still have imperfections — but every book does. If you’ve edited the big picture, honed the sentences, and proofread carefully, your e-book is ready to be sent out into the world.
