Hi everyone 👋 I'm excited to be here! My name is Philip, and I'm passionate about writing and storytelling. I specialize in ghostwriting eBooks and helping others bring their ideas, stories, or knowledge to life—especially in the self-help, business, and personal development spaces. In addition to writing, I also assist with editing, formatting, and publishing eBooks, making it easier for authors to share their message with the world. I'm here to connect, learn, and grow alongside fellow writers, authors, and creatives. Whether you're just getting started or already published, I’m looking forward to being part of your journey and sharing mine too.

It’s been a long, exhausting week, and today was my only day off. Even so, I spent it in my home office and had one of the most productive days I’ve had in a while. I actually enjoyed myself, and it feels so good to end the day on that note.

It’s come to my attention that some members are being approached privately for services. This is not allowed under our rules. If you offer a service, you’re welcome to make a post about it and let people come to you. If someone posts asking for a specific service you provide, you may comment and discuss it openly then decide together how to proceed. This community was never meant to be a marketplace. It’s meant for genuine support, advice, laughter, and learning. Anyone who ignores this rule will be removed without warning. I want this space to grow into one big, happy book family where we help each other succeed. There’s enough opportunity for everyone let’s share the pot, not fight over it.

Good morning! I hope everyone’s weekend is going well. For those who self-edit how do you do it? I’m obviously a novice. On my first edit, I pasted my chapters into ChatGPT one at a time and asked it to look for inconsistencies, which definitely helped, but it’s not perfect. Now I’m on my second round of editing Echoes in the Gears. I have my proof copy, and I’m reading it on paper (which I prefer), highlighting and making notes. So far, I’ve re-edited the first six chapters. Is there a specific way to edit? I have ADHD and serious brain fog, so I forget details really easily even in my own story! Is this normal? Do you all remember everything you’ve written? Do you just read through over and over looking for errors, or do you have a method?

Has anyone here had success with pre-sales for their books? If so, how did you do it and what tools or platforms did you use? I’m considering setting up a TikTok Shop, but I’m not sure how to go about it or when would be the best time to start advertising for pre-orders before my book’s release.
