How do you decide on a good one? And how much of it can you do by yourself? Grammar Style Syntax Plot Development Proofreading Formatting And cost-saving methods  Self-Editing on a Penny was written by an independent author FOR independent authors. Don't make the same costly mistakes I've made. Self-Edit first. Reviews
"Not to mention most grammar and self-editing books on the shelves today are stuffy snore fests. Much to my surprise and delight this does not fall into the category. I dare say this guide is engaging from beginning to end." - Josh Byrley"The information is presented in a way that, unlike other style guides, won't leave you sobbing in confusion or brain-dead from grammar-related terminology dumps. Her examples are inventive but easy to understand." - K.t. Hoyet
"What makes Self-Editing On A Penny stand out, is that Forge uses her snark and sass to illustrate how to successfully edit your project. Her examples are clever and short to the point, and her explanations aren't bogged down in extraneously detail. If it's your first time finishing a novel, be good to yourself and pick up Self-Editing On a Penny. It will save your sanity." - K. Sholty
