Editing
Before you pay someone to edit, use your best and most affordable editing
service. The Bottom Drawer. Put your manuscript out of sight for at least three
or four weeks - yes, weeks - then take a look at it with fresh eyes. If you're
still at your wit's end, you may choose to work with an editor.
