I've finally finished my first manuscript, but now I'm stuck at the next big decision. Should I hire ghostwriting services to polish and rewrite parts of my book, or invest in self-editing tools and workshops to fix it myself? I worry that ghostwriting might change my voice, but self-editing feels overwhelming with no guarantee of quality. For those who have been here, which path gave you better results? Did ghosting services help you publish faster, or did self-editing make you a stronger writer in the long run? I'd love to hear your experiences and what you'd recommend for a first-time author.
