• THE AUTHOR’S JOURNEY – #NEWRELEASE

  

  During this time of isolation at home, I’ve kept busy. One major accomplishment and a few smaller ones achieved. For several years, I’ve wanted to pull together all my materials from my seminars, workshops, and experience into one resource book for writers.

• Who Needs an Editor?

  

  By P.C. Zick – @PCZick I only have one answer to the question of who needs an editor. Everyone who writes needs an editor.
