Some have a better editorial process than others for sure, but a well edited story is always better. <br /><br />Plus, you can spend more time writing and less time promoting if you have a publisher.

As far as books go, I had a good start with the first publisher, but their intersts changed and we parted. The second started okay but got problematic over time. My relationship with my third has gone that way, too. These things happen. Best to deal and move on.Robert Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797343085664986048noreply@blogger.com
