Wow. Nice job, Neil, calling him on this idea of going solo that he keeps promoting.
I'm with you -- I LOVE my editor. I will never again dream of publishing without her review of my material. As well, a close circle of ruthless beta readers adding to the gauntlet this author must pass. I have become a firm believer that any good book is a product of more than one person, and the others should not be fellow authors. Specialization has value and always will.
Again, nice job. I admire your straight-shooting commentary on this business of spreading our words to the masses, we hope, without making fools of ourselves as some are quick to carelessly do.
