Most people want to write a book but they make two huge mistakes.

1) They think they have to write it all by themselves.
2) They never pay for a professional editor to edit their mistakes.

Prolific writers like J.K Rowling and Chimamanda Adiche are not infallible and make mistakes even with spell checkers and Grammarly.
Their editors are handsomely paid to bring the book up to date.

Even the bicycle repairer in your village with Primary School education can write a book. If he pays a professional editor, it will look as if Achebe wrote it.

Someone I wrote a book for wanted me to spell check, grammar update, format for kindle, design the book cover, and other things in order to save costs. I told him I do not specialize in such services and suggested he outsources to Fiverr. He insisted, I did the best I could and got paid for it but I cannot guarantee it will be error free.

Another one insisted and after 3 spell checks and plagiarism checks, there were still errors in the book that needed professional touch.

I am trying to write my own books for sale on Kindle now. I have paid almost $40 for initial research and I will budget about $100 for professional editing. You cannot be a jack of all trades. A fresh set of eyes can save you local and international embarrassment.

Are you surprised? ANSU students like sorting their lecturers. It's legal and any student who isn't sorting is seen as a fool.
