Need an Editor? THE MANUSCRIPT MAVEN
I'm not a surgeon nor am I trained in any surgical procedures, so I know very little about how the fix or cure the inner workings of the body other than for any personal aliments/issues I've experienced or witnessed from caring for my four children. Thus, I wouldn't be a choice when you're looking for a surgeon.
The same applies to writing.
To no fault of their own, many people have no idea the ins and outs of writing a manuscript with the intent of publication. A writer does, though. From the bright beginnings of an idea to the damp, darkness of revisions, a fellow writer understands what it takes to achieve one's goal of publication. And it takes a special writer who can take another writer's work, edit it for content, structure, and grammar to make it shine.
This is the reason I'm here today. I'm beyond thrilled to share this news with you.

Blog | Twitter Sharon Mayhew aka S.K. Mayhew has recently launched her own editing and writer coaching business. She is not simply a talented writer, but also a dear friend and critique partner to me. My interactions with Sharon have always been positive and led me down a road of growth. Her efforts have gone above and beyond what was necessary as one of my CPs. And she has an uplifting way of sharing her suggestions and edits.
Here's her mission statement, which can be found on her new website The Manuscript Maven:
To celebrate her kick-off, Sharon is offering up one FREE critique of either the first 250 words of a picture book, the first seven pages of a novel, or a query critique/line edit to one winner! To enter, just leave a comment below and I will randomly choose a winner.
Have you every worked with a private editor or writing coach before? What was your experience?
