Outside help

No writer is an island. You can't edit your own work. These are just some of the sayings that highlight the fact that writers need outside help in their effort to write and publish their works.

For Ohlen's Arrow, I have engaged the professional services of an illustrator to design the book's cover and the world map inside, and an editor for the text contained within. Up to this point my outside help has entailed the reviews of nearly a dozen volunteer beta readers.

Writing a book is an exciting process, and frankly, I'm glad I don't have to do it alone.
