I have a question: I finished my book and am looking to get it published, but I am in desperate need of getting it edited. Not input or an opinion of: "Well I think you should do this with it..." but an ACTUAL editor who will work with me. I am totally new in this business and have no idea where to go from here or what to do, who to contact. Any help you can give me will greatly appreciated.jajensha_dimosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305172357831609032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-13604287129899721382009-07-21T22:50:57.335-04:002009-07-21T22:50:57.335-04:00童裝批發

Although, since I'm not reading in order to find someone to represent, I do want to be hooked on every book I pick up, so in the first fifty pages I'm not actually looking for a reason to put it down. But I do read 250 books a year, and I have to write sometime, so I don't want to waste my time either. Lucky for me, I get lots of recommendations and also an agent/publisher has already believed in my "library slush pile". And while you get to bring the book into publication, I get to spread the word on my blog. Thanks for an interesting post.<BR/><BR/>http://www.joelleanthony.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-76144749990128999202008-04-01T17:40:00.000-04:002008-04-01T17:40:00.000-04:00I can't wait to read FHT myself.
