I cannot more highly suggest having Word read aloud your manuscript as you follow along for edits. It's amazing (horrifying) how many things you miss reading through yourself because your brain just adds words.

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.

Let your characters be human. They don't always need to act logically or predictably, it adds layers to their personalities.
This also equates to allowing yourself to write badly and freely. You can not edit a blank page.

If you think you are done with your book cover design, THINK AGAIN! Do a "comparison grid" of other books in your genre, and adjust accordingly. Look at layout, font, sizing of titles, and so on. Analyze the hell out of it. #AuthorTip
