Leap of Faith

Today I took a leap of faith in the book that Stephanie and I are writing. I hired a professional editor to work on our book. Hiring an editor is not cheap, but I'm learning that if you want to give yourself all opportunities of having your book published, then you really need a professional to polish it up for you prior to submitting it to agents and editors. The key is to find an editor that you trust (and which is in your price range). Luckily I had a referral from a friend, plus the opportunity to have a free evaluation done last year. I was so impressed with the seven-page feed back that I got in return, that I chose to continue working with this particular editor. I know that our story is good and is worth publishing, and I will do what it takes to make it shine so that others may see it as well.

So the question you must ask yourself is...Do you believe in yourself and the work you have created? If you do, then you must do everything to support that believe.

Good luck in your writing efforts and DO NOT lose faith in yourself. You can do it!
