It wasn’t the book that changed me. As a person with no educational experience writing a complete novel, a fellow writer encouraged me to take a class on how to review/critique. I found the more I critiqued the more I applied those same principles to my writing. As time went by my style of critique garnered a following and I had more requests for critiques. 5 or 6 years ago Willamette Writers put together a critique group. I was one of that first group. There is still two of the original writing. I have joined another mystery group of writers. I’m not a professional but I do pass along what I’ve learned and am still learning. Does that make me a leader?

Second revision
I opened my 2nd revision yesterday and finished it an hour ago. It went easier than I thought. Most changes were grammatical. She added or deleted words here and there. Anything that she questioned I addressed or made the changes. She suggested changes and a few I held firm on. I hope they are acceptable. I told her I’d rather come to a compromise than my having to give up on my concept. I already had to give up on my cover idea. More when I get the next revision back

@Lynn Smargis I got an email they are subject to Amazon/ingram rules too. If not complied they ghost the book. It happened to one of their authors. Now they are careful.

@Lynn Smargis it may have been one of those things KDP changed. I didn’t ask
