This is a really helpful video, I thought about Bethany's advice to use people in our lives, I want to proofread my books by language professors. Have a blessed day, Mandi!
Lovely collab! It’s always very interesting to learn more about editors. Self-publishing on a budget can be daunting so these advices sound great 😊 thanks girls
Ahh! This video took me back to the retreat! Miss you guys! I’m very please with the good advice too! We had so many laugh attacks! Great video, Mandi! ❤️❤️
I just wanted to add UpWork to the list of places you ladies recommended. That's where I found my editor and I dont know where my book wouldve been, if it weren't for her. She has made my book so much more than it was before. With UpWork, you post the job and have a series of questions to ask people applying for the position. That really helped me pick the right person!
Great advice! This makes me wish I had done things differently when publishing my first book over 4 years ago, but at the time I was a 15 year old who had no clue what she was doing. Strangely, I worry about money a lot, but when the time comes for me to publish again, I want to make sure I invest in something that’s worth it, and that I’m happy with.
Thank You, Mandi, Bethany, and Evie. This is very much a topic that I know very little about. I thought this was really informative and had lots of great information.
Great video ladies! I agree with finding editors in the forums on goodreads and Facebook. I have been talking to a lot of people on both of those platforms.
Such a nice video and good information. Sadly, for me this is a discouragement because 1,000 dollars is just a horribly huge amount. To give an example so you can understand why... The regular monthly payment for any regular 8 hs office job here is around 370 dollars. A month. So 1,000 is just sad to see. I know you talked about lower prices and stuff too, which will be probably my saving grace, right along asking people in my life to help me, but I don't want to sacrifice quality either. 😕
Bethany only paid about $300 for her book to be edited and she found her editor through a Goodreads forum. Just do you hunting and find someone looking to build their portfolio and I'm sure you can find a great deal :)

Professors are a great resource :)

I'm hoping to do more of these budget videos, but I'm so happy we were able to cram so much info into this one :)
Great advice girls! So nice to see all of your lovely faces again. ;)
I so wish we could do retreats more often!
Great info. Thanks ladies! thumbs up

Oh! Very good point! I've never used Upwork, but I'm so happy to hear you had a great experiance with them!

Hey, publishing at 15 is a big feat! Be proud of that and just know any "mistakes" were just lessons :)

Happy to hear the video was helpful! :D

They're such a great place to meet people just starting out!
Such a nice video and good information.

Thanks so much ladies!! This helps a lot.
So great to hear!
Nice video, Mandi. :)
The 1000$ to 2000$ is that only one type of edit? Does that mean if you wanted a copy, line and developmental edit you are looking at 3000-6000$?
The $1000 - $2000 is for both the line and copy edits :)
Thanks mandi
Can you update this?
The information in this video should still be relevant :)
