Editors

One of the hardest steps in writing a book is finding the right editor.  I truly enjoy being an English teacher, but my passion is literature not grammar.  Needless to say when I begin writing my concerns don't contain the words comma splice or verb agreement.  Creating vivid content is my forte.  I leave the mechanics to Chase, my husband.  He has been a good wonderful book editor for me.  The way he "dissects" my sentences is amazing.  I really should be thanking his high school English teacher.  She has made him a grammar freak guru. I'm extremely blessed to have his constant support.  The advice he gives is completely constructive and is making my book publisher worthy.  I just have to find a publisher.  Any takers? A little note to all my writers out there:  Don't be afraid to let someone "criticize" your material.  A good writer takes the criticism and applies it to their craft.
