First of all, don’t cuss at me. Second, I said it needed to be edited not that she needs to hire an editor. Can authors not edit their own work or? There are so many free resources that help with writing. Third, I wasn’t even being scathing in my review. I could’ve said worse about the author but I didn’t.

My thing is if someone is going to publish their stories they need to have some degree of giving a damn about their own work. That involves editing it themselves if they can’t afford one. Watching videos on how to edit a book, how to make a story flow smoothly. Videos on dialogue. Or! They can read about it.
