My Favorite Editor

I'm halfway through rewrites on the lower grade chapter book I'm working on. Since my daughter Mia is our resident reader in that age range, she has been recruited to be my editor. We've got it down to a science – I work while she is at school and once she comes home, she reads what I've written and gives me feedback. She is very direct with me and helps me re-work parts she gets hung up on. For example, today she had a hard time with the phrase "what I wouldn't give…". She was very confused and couldn't figure out what the character meant. I explained what he was trying to say and she said, "Well then why don't you write it that way?"

She is beyond helpful and best of all will work for silly bandz and candy!
