So, growing up in the 50's and 60's, I thought my life was planned out. I'd go to college, find my prince, get married, have kids and live happily ever after. What planet was I on?????
Drug addiction in MY family? NEVER.
A child of mine living on the street? NEVER.
One of my children incarcerated? NEVER.
Raising a grandchild in my lifetime? NEVER.
Experiencing the death of one of my children? NEVER.
NEVER say never.

A Great Editor Makes Your Work Great!
Oh, I am so lucky! I was just referred to an amazing editor. It's so important that an editor not only understand you and what you're trying to say, but to edit your work in a way that is compelling. I found a remarkable editor, who took the Overview of my Proposal and made it "golden!" She took my ideas and words, embellished and rearranged them to make better sense. I've hired her to edit my entire 30-page Proposal in hopes that a publisher will pick it up. Of course, there are no guarantees, but if you are serious about letting your voice be heard, DO have your Proposal for non-fiction edited by a professional before sending it out to agents. You will probably have fewer rejections. I would have!!!!
