Great article - thanks! I found some really high quality editors & cover designers on Fiverr for a decently low price point. I'd recommend that as a tool for folks in the self-publishing process.
Almost done with Mastering Behavioral Interviews, making the final push for the end of November deadline. A lot of this resonates with me, especially the bursty progress---for me, integrating book writing with my family's other activities and our primary business was challenging.
