Where do I send it?
When I first began to think (and hope) that I might someday have one of my stories published, I had no idea of where to start. Of course, these days there are Internet resources I didn’t have, but the web is…well, impersonal. Would you like something more?
If you need an honest appraisal of your work….
If you need an experienced writer to read your manuscript, someone who is willing and able to evaluate your prose style with an eagle-eye ability to spot grammatical errors….
If you’d like a little help with identifying possible markets for your work….
and you’d like to be charged only a reasonable fee and to receive a response within an agreed-upon time…
then perhaps you’d like to check out my editing services.
