It is essential to get your novel or nonfiction manuscript in tip-top shape before you begin submitting your work to agents. Agents receive hundreds of queries and submissions each week, and you only get one shot to pique their interest. You need a professional to provide a second set of eyes, to catch mistakes and improve your overall content, plot, characters, and writing.
You've lived with your writing for so long that you need an honest, outside reader to make note of any issues that need improvement. You don't get a second chance to impress--hire a professional editor (moi) to get your work in the best shape possible so that you can make your writing career a reality. Already published? Let me polish your work before you deliver to your agent or house editor.
