Wow, Dian, those are excellent guidelines concerning reviews. That's too bad about self-publishing getting a bad reputation because of poor editing/grammar. I can understand that. Several self-published authors of memoirs regarding abuse have asked me to read/review their books. I have to respond with great appreciation for their willingness to tell their story. However, I have read many that I just didn't want to finish because of flaws and loose ends. I never felt "finished" with my book: I could have self-critiqued till doomsday. However, I had to get to the point where it was time to publish, instead of stalling over perfectionism. On the other hand, I certainly don't care for books that written as a rush job. Unfortunately, some of the major reviewers who by-pass self-publishing are missing some good writing, right? LLL
