Hi everyone, My name is Mary, and I’m an independent book editor. I work closely with authors who want their manuscripts to feel polished, professional, and truly ready for readers, not just “edited,” but refined with care. I genuinely love working with authors especially those who are passionate about their stories but want a professional eye to help bring everything together. If you’re working on a manuscript and need thoughtful, honest feedback, I’d be happy to connect. Looking forward to being part of this community.

There’s a popular topic floating around in publishing circles right now: “Stop selling your book on Amazon.” It’s bold, it’s controversial… and it’s missing a few important details. The truth? You don’t have to choose between Amazon and selling on your own site. You can do both , and win. In this post, I’m sharing 3 ways to use Amazon to your advantage and build direct connections with your readers without losing visibility or reach. Save this post for later. This is the type of strategy that protects your sales, time, and reader experience. #BossWriter #PublishingTips #SelfPublishingCoach #BookMarketing #AmazonKDP #BookSalesStrategy #IndieAuthorTips https://www.instagram.com/p/DNVhn0uuCta/?img_index=5&igsh=MXA0cmVtdjlrOG9rYw==https://www.instagram.com/p/DNVhn0uuCta/?img_index=5&igsh=MXA0cmVtdjlrOG9rYw==
