That's a good idea, Alex. Mind you -- especially in these days of internet -- authors tend not to write in isolation and belong to online groups. When an ms is complete it's always best to share it with peers in these communities (other developing authors -- not your brother-in-law or an old school teacher) before hitting a pro editor. Good fiction editors don't come cheap unless -- like me -- they work for a particular publishing house and editorial work is part of the deal when a piece of work is acccepted for publication. Also, it must be kept in mind that many 'editorial services' offered on the net are ... well ... let's say they're not exactly top drawer. A college diploma on the wall is not evidence of quality and experience. If I can help anyone with advice, please don't hesitate to holler: ntmarrATbewrite.net. Cheers. Neil
