A golden rule! Edit before publishing. It is never a good idea to publish a manuscript without going through the editing process. Punctuation errors, misspellings, clunky sentences and so on take away from your writing. Readers will be more focused on errors than what you are actually saying.
Editing is the process of taking something that could be good and making it good. There comes a time when your manuscript needs to go to an editor. Editing provides an opportunity to give you a different perspective of your story, however at the end of the day it is up to you how your story begins and finishes.
