Okay, the most challenging part of writing for me is the blurb!! It seems like something that should be so easy, but it's such a different kind of thing to have to write compared to a whole novel... Any advice?

I don't exactly have the money to hire an editor for my novel just, but I also feel very biased about editing it myself first—at all. What are your thoughts on working with editors and/or self-editing? Thanks in advance!

Well, everyone seems to charge different rates too and I think it's hard to give away some trust to someone I haven't worked with before as well.

Thanks for the reply, though! I'll take a look at the article there :)

Since you're a science fiction/speculative fiction writer with a background in science, I'm curious to know these two things as well:

1. Is there any specific field you worked in that has inspired any of your novels?
2. What are your favorite nonfiction/science books you've read recently or of all time—also any that have inspired your writing?
