Since you're a science fiction/speculative fiction writer with a background in science, I'm curious to know these two things as well:

1. Is there any specific field you worked in that has inspired any of your novels?
2. What are your favorite nonfiction/science books you've read recently or of all time—also any that have inspired your writing?

Okay, the most challenging part of writing for me is the blurb!! It seems like something that should be so easy, but it's such a different kind of thing to have to write compared to a whole novel... Any advice?

I don't exactly have the money to hire an editor for my novel just, but I also feel very biased about editing it myself first—at all. What are your thoughts on working with editors and/or self-editing? Thanks in advance!

Well, everyone seems to charge different rates too and I think it's hard to give away some trust to someone I haven't worked with before as well.

Thanks for the reply, though! I'll take a look at the article there :)
