I can’t believe I’ve final started the final, final revisions of Broken Beginnings, before I work on finding an editor that doesn’t cost a fortune to professionally edit the book, but I want to make the prose shine before I do that.
I also managed to get three book reviews completed yesterday, and the start of which is either going to be a short story or a novella, I’m not sure yet.
In the meantime I’m praying for my Aunt Christine and asked you to do the same, she’s not doing good at all. And I have something else I’m praying about at Church, if it comes to fruition, I will let everyone know. I know it was something I was invited to do, and I’m leaning heavily on saying yes.l,

I had a dream that I edited the book for you. I am looking for a good editing or writing job. I will continue to keep your Aunt in my prayers and thoughts.

@Michellekidwell Would the book be a hard copy or does editing have to be done on the computer? I don't know. I've never taken on a book edit before. My strong points though are spelling, punctuation, grammar and sentence structure. Looking up costs on the internet, what they quote per word and per page is extremely prohibitive. I would never charge that much. How many pages is Broken Beginnings?

@Michellekidwell I would prefer a hard copy; but tell me how editing can be done onscreen? I would think that I need to make all the changes; but then you'd have to read through the whole thing again because you'd have to approve everything I did. If it was on a hard copy, you could say "yay" or "nay" to each one before changing it. If you trust me enough to change spelling, punctuation, grammar and sentence structure, then I might consider it. I just want what's best for you. As far as payment, can you suggest an amount? BTW, I would make another copy of your manuscript before editing JUST IN CASE I should hit a wrong button and wipe the whole thing out! Worst case scenario! Microsoft Word would work for me.
