Hey everyone!
So here is the question: how quickly do you wrap a book?
I ask because, while I'm relatively fast when it comes to the process of writing itself, my edits, rewrites, re-edits, pagination, book cover, and so on seem to take forever.
I know of a lot of writers who dish out a book/month, from first word on "paper" to ready for kindle/publication.
I would like to be one of those guys, but I don't seem to be able to find my way out of the swamp of "getting the book ready".
For example, my book now is going though what I hope being its final editing process (I'm working with an editor). The edits alone are taking months (probably as it should be).
If you belong to the group of people who produce 4-10 books/year, how do you do it, aside from the writing process? Do you self-edit? Do you have editors/other professionals who work with/for you who move very quickly? Are you a one person army and do everything by yourself?
I am now writing my 3rd book and have not even published my first because it's still going through edits. I love writing, but I also really want to get those books out there and see how they do in the wild.
Share your tips and process! It would help a lot!
