Finally Done with my Final Edit

So I finished the last read through and last edit of my manuscript. Now what? Well, first I'm going to ask several more people to read it for me. Stephen King inspired me. This was part of his advice. I even know the folks I want to read it. Mystery lovers. Already picked em out, have one of them on the hook. Won't make the same mistake I made with the edit.

What mistake? Having an editor who did not read mysteries edit my book. When I read my manuscript this last time I did so while reading a Dick Francis novel. It helped me get in the right frame of mind. I believe I've written here before that I was encouraged when I saw that my editor had a Dick Francis book on his shelf when I took him my manuscript. I was discouraged to find out that he'd never read it.

I think I've made the decision to go ahead and e-publish the book. First I want to look into several successful marketing campaigns that have accompanied an e-book release from relative unknowns and try to mimic them.
