    With my editor, it took two revisions, though I did eight revisions and rewrites myself before I even got an editor.

    After the editor, there were mistakes I caught, before software for checking grammar was widely available, though I didn't check that either because it didn't cross my mind.

    I had some moments of inspiration, though usually about "did I write that?" because it was almost unbelievable how moving or great some parts of it are.
    I thought it didn't have humor, but it does like in the first few chapters.

    Before the last revision (back in 2004) there were significant changes such as improving the beginning and end. That was a task in itself.

    I'm going to update the website, but its page is www.thewarlockname.com

    I would like to see it get some book awards, which it has potential to do. But it was back in 2004. The publisher said that I couldn't change it to © 2004, 2017.

    Because I'm republishing it, and just changing the inner contents. Cover and costs will stay the same.

    I'm down to around 2,000 mistakes left to check and have edited about 50 pages so far. It goes pretty quick when you get into it.

    After the edits, there's the task of going back and editing all the missing line breaks. And also fix it where it needs to be with formatting.

    Since I self-published, it's probably going to cost up to $10,000 or so to market and build the website and stuff. I'll still need an editor to help come up with promotional materials or stuff.

    I seriously need an agent if there are better options than republishing with the same publisher who won't promote it. Since I'm new to the scene by name, publishers won't usually put
    up dollars to help. Not until you're well known. I can't even get published by another publisher or so I'm told.

    This message was edited using Grammarly. Possibly my new favorite program. It's not always accurate, but it is good for like 95+% of the issues it catches.
    Sounds very intriguing the writeup on http://www.thewarlockname.com/ I look forward to reading it one day wHen you are finished with the editing and all that fun stuff BigSmile The type of books I enjoy reading the most.
