Default Good Advice

Thank you very much, Ashokan, for your extensive and informative reply. Excellent advice. Yes, I have since joined one of the writers group, and so far have it to be very helpful. I've been particularly curious as to why so many writers are turning to CreateSpace and other self-publishing options. You have confirmed many of the reasons that I heard. I'm coming to 3 major conclusions: 1) Editing is important, whether by a professional or members of a writers group. 2)Self publishing seems to be the way to go, particularly if one doesn't want to wait a long time to see their book in print. 3) No matter what, successful marketing is up to the author. Thanks for all your help.
