http://sarahjohnsonauthor.blogspot.com/2015/02/professional-editing-conversations.html
Tuesday, 3 February 2015. The professional edit: Conversations about self-publishing for the serially challenged 3.

The Bold Ship Phenomenal. This no credit to me (all credit to Sue)...

http://activitypress.com/2013/05/30/a-bad-week-for-new-zealand-publishing
