Book Review: The Doors of Perception / Heaven and Hell

When I first read Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception / Heaven and Hell, most of it was lost on me, and I assumed this was because at the time I lacked any experience with psychedelics. The second time I read the book — many years and many psychedelics later — I still found myself struggling to follow along. I generally don't write negative reviews, but I think this book offers at least two valuable lessons to writers.

My fellow authors: looking for an editor or cover designer?

If you're looking to hire a professional editor, I highly recommend Michelle Demers, who edited my first two books. Aside from editing, she also offers other publishing services such as ebook formatting, print layout, and self-publishing consultation. You can view her testimonials here.

For professional cover design, I highly recommend Jenny Q over at historicaleditorial.com. (Testimonials can be found on the same page.) She specializes in historical fiction, but as you can see from the two covers below, she is highly adept at other genres as well.
