Writer's Summit Tip #12: Join a critique group to develop your own critical eye.
The beauty of joining a critique group isn't about getting the group's feedback on your work (that is a side benefit). The beauty of joining a critique group is that it forces you to develop a critical eye. Once you've read 4 other people's works and evaluated them based on very subjective qualities, then you can go back and do the same work to your own work.
Warning: Accept all feedback graciously, however, when it comes to the details of their critique - take what you like and leave the rest... Only incorporate the input that resonates with you, let the rest go. It still is your book - after all!

Writer's Summit Tip #36:
A speaking coach is a useful service for many authors, as publicly promoting an author's book is an important part of helping to get that book into the hands of readers.
Finding a good speaking coach can be a very cost-effective investment towards greater profits for an author, especially if, like many people, you have a fear of public speaking. The right coach can help an author thrive in front of audiences, turning the task of publicly speaking about their book into a joy.
