"Smart writers know that it is very easy to get too close to the work and
not really "see" the larger picture--and sometimes having a writers'
group or a trusted reader is the very thing that delineates a good piece
of work from something that is only mediocre. But that good piece of
work can become even better with polish, like fine furniture.
Most new writers have to learn this the hard way. Often their submissions to venues will be rejected solely on the "amateur" mistake of sending out a piece too soon, unpolished, unedited or having no proofreading in place. Sometimes it might have needed a major overhaul to be accepted; but sometimes just another pair of peepers on it, to smooth the rough edges would have made the grade.''
"My fees are low, but my expertise is professional and my earnest interest in aiding writers is genuine. I'll send you 5 pages of (prose, fiction or nonfiction) editing, free, if you have doubts, and you can judge for yourself.
