Self-published authors take their role seriously and put out the best product they possibly can

Authors need to be able to focus on writing and improving their writing. Both prior any start to the publishing process and during it. They should be getting detailed, good quality feedback at all stages, but it really doesn’t seem like these things are happening. Books should go through multiple rounds of edits with different editors, and non-marketing staff shouldn’t be expected to take on the marketing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like any of this is going to happen anytime soon, and it makes me wonder exactly how much longer readers will put up with such poor quality before losing interest completely.
