I am no expert, lol. However, my best advice is to be patient with your first novel. Write it, edit and then let it sit for three weeks. Then edit again. Do that a few times. Then, get it professionally edited. There is simply no substitute. No matter how skillful you are, professional editors will catch the mistakes that your own mind refuses to see.

Stephen Roth:
Did you want to trade reads and reviews, Stephen? I thought you asked about reading your newest novel. Mine is a memoir in essays, funny and sad, ODD WOMAN OUT. I have 3 other exchanges to do first, if you don't mind waiting. Ps I don't like dark and scary stuff, hope and light suits me fine. thanks
