Should authors have their book edited? By K J Rollinson

There’s never been a text written that didn’t need editing. Indeed, I’ll say as Indie authors we have a duty to aim at a high standard, and one way is to ensure that they are edited to a professional standard.

An editor’s primary connection to the book is the manuscript itself. You can edit it yourself time and time again; give it to friends to edit, but you, or they, will not necessarily see the mistakes. They’re not going to approach the text with the kind of eye for detail that a professional editor brings.

I saw a comment recently on Facebook on editing and quote it below:

‘Each individual author is responsible for their own editing and content. I do not want this project to be like those other stuck up compilations who believe only the BEST should be able to submit. The emphases on this very project is…

IBP’s Book Trailer: Life Experience of A Black Man by Joseph Pierre

International Book Promotion is launching the cinematic book trailer for Author Joseph Pierre’s book, “Life Experience of A Black Man by Joseph Pierre” on Facebook and Google + 

If you’d like to feature your books on this event, contact us via this page or reply to this email.

International Book Promotion is honoured to introduce another author who has published a non-fiction book in the year 2014. Life Experience of a Self-Respecting Black Man by Joseph Pierre will enlighten you with a man’s life story that brings you to walk a different path of life. We are releasing the cinematic book trailer for this book in April.

We will host a series of fun-filled activities and guest authors will also be participating in this event. Invite your friends who to this event and stand a chance to win exciting prices!

Joseph Pierre believes racism is being misinterpreted in America. Those whites who had suffered emotionally and psychologically to say no to slavery, segregation , racism, must be recognized and echoed in America. Those whites who had been humiliated, brutalized, and killed due to injustices to blacks must be known to our communities. Being in poverty is not an excuse to get involved in illegal activities. But it is a motivation to become a successful man or a woman in life. Regardless of my deplorable poverty condition, my dignity is first.

The book is now available on Amazon and other online stores.

Blurb:

“The United States of America, the land of young J Pierre’s dreams. A country he believed that would change his life entirely; a place where he could rejoice forever. Packed with high hopes and loaded with ambition and optimism, he migrated to this place he considers Paradise. However, not too long after he sets foot in this country, he was forced to face reality and deal with the unexpected. J Pierre narrates his story of the challenges he has encountered in this foreign land; the bouts he has with law enforcers, and the people who deemed to torment him because of the mere color of his skin. As he was confronted with these issues, J Pierre proves that nothing can change his principles and ideals; that an understanding of the human nature can help make things better. As he recounts his real life experiences in this country, J Pierre will make you see what he has come to understand about people, regardless of the color of our skin, and how such misconceptions can be resolved.”

I look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you around in this event.
Best regards,

IBP’s Trailer: Behind Blue Eyes by Dianne Wolfenden

Blurb:

There are good and bad vampires in the world, here we meet them all.

Caution, this book contains scenes of extreme violence

Cain was born in England in 1917. At the end of WWII Cain returned to England, longing for the comforts of home, but found his mother was different; she had been changed by a vampire who preys on women.
There came a point where his mother felt there was no choice…Cain had to be turned as well.

After watching his mother die he changed his way of thinking, his way of feeding. He tried to reclaim some of his humanity but it was not easy as he was fueled by rage against the one that had changed her. He wanted his revenge and nothing would stop him.

After he was attacked he came across a young girl, ten year old Mia, whose innocence was slowly being taken away from her. They needed each other, and both their lives depended on it.

The world was a very bad place for Mia. She was about to find out just how much worse it could get.

Visit Amazon to purchase the book.

The thing about cliches is that every now and then you feel the pressing need to use them, but I won’t do that today. Instead, I will introduce you to a place that you might have been to at one point in time or another. Say like when you were born or when your parents had to take you for shots that they swore would eventually make you better.

As you can see now, as a parent, grandparent or loved one times haven’t changed much. We are either there visiting someone, or else someone’s visiting us. Today this is where you are, now take a slow soothing breath and then write something.
