If and when your manuscript has been vetted and is absolutely as good as you can possibly make it, that’s the time to consider hiring an editor who can assess the whole book with a cold professional gaze.

Hello Loreates,

The Roundup I’m sharing today focuses on the age-old question that every writer asks when they feel like they’ve finally finished a piece of writing: What Now?

Answers below!

As a paid MFA subscriber you are welcome to our bimonthly Zoom gatherings, where I answer questions like these in person. But if you just have one burning question about writing or publishing that you’d like me to address in a future post, please let me know!

Leave a comment

For now, act up, speak out, and write on!
