Hello again. I have just had the best bit of luck. I hired an editor for my last book, paid an ungodly amount of money to have my book edited. I got my first proof back and it was a mess because of formatting errors, so I had to reload it to the printer. So I have this proof sitting here not worth letting anyone read. I thought it would be funny to sign it and give it to my oldest daughter, S, who is 16 to let her read through. I autographed it for her, and she was thrilled. She began reading through it, it is the first time I have let her read one of my romances.
Now the cool part. She reads through and finds things the editor missed. She asks me for a copy on her computer because she likes to edit, and she is good at it!!! Oh wow! This is heaven. I am going to let her edit all my books now. She says she likes English and it gives her the chance to be the first to read new books before they even get released. I told her if she is serious, we can get her some training on how to edit books even better and she can use this as a way to make extra money. Of course I am going to make sure she gets paid for editing my books, but now I have someone I can trust to edit the books and I don't have to pay near as much. Now if I can just get B. and M. to do marketing, I will be set. lol.
