What Should New Authors Prioritize Before Publishing a Book?
I recently finished my manuscript and now I am learning how much work happens after writing the story itself. While searching for book editing and formatting services, I realized many authors struggle with choosing the right support before publishing. Some say editing matters most, while others believe formatting creates a better reader experience. I would really like to hear from experienced writers here. What part of book editing helped improve your book the most, and what should beginners focus on first?
