What is your opinion on people who put in the effort to write and self-publish a book, but just don’t have the greatest writing skills? Like, the intention is great and there is always a certain vulnerability when you’re putting your thoughts out there to the world. But without a legitimate editor/professional support, the effort oftentimes just falls flat (at least to those of us who enjoy well-written books full of depth and character building). I want to be supportive of potential budding writers out there, but it also can turn into a situation where someone self-publishes, and then their friends who would never dream of doing such a thing shower them with praise to the point where they don’t necessarily step back to see what could be improved in the future. Honestly curious, especially when it’s a friend or family member doing the self-publishing 🙂
