My Work is Absolutely as Valuable as Yours My Work is Absolutely as Valuable as Yours By Megan Cutler | October 22, 2018 | Comments 5 comments The biggest struggle I face as an indie author has nothing to do with inspiration or even with sales.

Make Line Editing Easy – A Helpful Guide for Indies Make Line Editing Easy – A Helpful Guide for Indies By Megan Cutler | September 24, 2018 | Comments 3 comments The top piece of feedback I note in reviews of self-published fiction is lack of proper editing.
