THE OTHER ME
The other me Demands emergence constantly. But if I turn to face him much too swiftly Then He sidles back to where and when He was before I unknowingly cracked the door And let him out. ---Ray Bradbury from Zen in the Art of Writing |

Writing and editing are two different
processes requiring two different mind sets. In the "Once Upon a Time"
of years ago, a writer could send a fiction manuscript to a publishing
house or magazine publisher and work with an editor to bring the manuscript
to its fullest potential. That was then. Now, if the plot is strong enough
or simply within the popular interest, the manuscript is signed up and
put into print--"potential" be damned. But if the plot is weak or the dialog/characters/structure
needs work, the manuscript is rejected-- again, "potential" be damned.
Redford's The Celestine Prophecy is a perfect recent example of
a manuscript that no publisher originally wanted; it was then selfpublished--the
rest of the story is history.
We offer the solution to the
editorial problems the writers of the '90's encounter at every turn, and
the freedom to let the writer write. Experienced editors and published
writers will critique your work, offer suggestions for enhancement, and
correct grammatical errors. We will also assist in the creation of a synopsis
for your completed work and superior cover letters to best sell your "product."
