I work in marketing, so you may not expect that I'd chime in on such things as plot and character development, grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, etc. But, the most basic truth about book marketing is, a poorly written and edited book is both difficult and embarrassing to market.
If you are hoping to see some success with your book, take your time with the editing process. And don't just make sure you've dotted your "i's" and crossed your "t's," have someone else--ideally someone qualified in such matters--take a thorough look at your manuscript.
For frequent and fascinating discussions on the nitty gritty of writing and editing, I urge you to visit The Blood-Red Pencil Blog. And remember, a book is judged not only by its cover, but on its insides too!
Happy Publishing!
