Jaime Lee Mann:
How do you find all your publishers and editors? Do you know someone that that will correct and edit your work! Or do you mostly try researching online?

Hi Kerah, I am so sorry I didn't notice your question before now!
I hire an editor to review my work before I send a book draft to my publisher (Blue Moon Publishers), and then, there's another editor I work with via Blue Moon who reviews it from there. I always recommend that an author hire an editor, or find some "test" readers, to review their work before submitting to publishers so the story can be as strong as possible. I'm not even talking about grammatical errors here, but overall story structure, gaps, plot, etc. These are things that the right editor really helps with. If someone in Canada were to search for an editor, I would recommend Editors.ca as a good starting point, or just go straight to my editor, Christine (ManleyMannMedia.com) :)
To find a publisher, I suggest doing lots of research and finding out which publishers put out books similar to those you write. Then, look at their submission guidelines, and write an amazing book proposal. I hope that helps!
