I have changed my story based on someone else's assessment, but it was after I personally noticed that some people's reading tapered off after a certain part of the book. I asked the editor I hired what she thought, and she made some suggestions. It was my choice whether or not I wanted to implement them. Maybe in a traditional route, I'd have that choice, and they could choose to say, "well, sorry then." This way, I still had the option to continue regardless. <br /><br />Best of luck, Lori!Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-22805564403288901472015-03-10T18:53:22.634-07:002015-03-10T18:53:22.634-07:00Thank you for coming by and sharing your story!
