I suggest getting recommendations, though. Then have them do 20 or 50 pages and see how it works for both of you. It shouldn't cost too much and you can see if they're someone you can work with for the entire book.<br /><br />I definitely think it's worth it, if you can afford it, especially if you self-publish. If you can't afford it, a selection of 3-5 beta readers who are also writers can work quite well, in my experience. In fact, sometimes better. You can get multiple viewpoints and then make the decisions yourself, rather than relying on one person's perspective who may have something different in mind for the story than you do.<br /><br />I think I could have written a whole blog post on this. LOL Hope it helps, though!Kristie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01649966564896771373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096879887407785226.post-84884008100843876462010-08-05T15:15:57.621-04:002010-08-05T15:15:57.621-04:00Kristie, Congrats on your book release.

You've given me hope on releasing a book I've written but had no way to publish. I'm at the stage where it needs a good edit. Any thoughts???
