Looking for copy and line editing for a novella

[Michelle]

Hi,

I have a manuscript for a novella of about 13,000 words.
Here is the book description as I would upload it to Amazon:

Jude was a talented Israeli suburb girl: abiding and successful in school, dancing ballet and playing the piano.

She sets on a mission to understand how to respond to her creative bright daughters’ school anxiety, while keeping the teachers’ content. This fight to do best for her own kids becomes a journey to make education creative for all children. Developing stories and tools for teachers consumes her time but fills her spirit. Still for years she feels speechless. Getting a job and earning good money would have made her life easier, but unbearable.

After a revelation she experiences high in the bright lit radiation therapy room, she decides it is time to fix a meeting with the minister of education. Richard holds Jude’s hand every day through the journey of paradigms challenging topped by cancer. Now as her health is at stakes, will she be able to fulfill her life mission?

Prepare to fall in-love with Jude’s grandparents and parents, the remnants of huge family trees from Poland and the Netherlands, as they build their lives in the new-born country after world war 2.

Discover Jude’s unforgettable bro – the computer-electronics wonder boy who got sent time and again to the principal, and Jude’s husband, who experienced companionship with the head of school too, urged to cut his bright-red long curls.

Get a surprising peek at life in Tel Aviv, the fun cosmopolis that never sleeps, even in times rockets drum through skies. See Jerusalem from Jude’s admiring eyes – a living embroidery of people in the heartful city built of white stone. Travel to the green north and to the desert south, that offer stories of spirited pioneers.

Fill with creative inspiration while Jude develops as a painter, author, and teacher – the kind educators dream to be while working in the fixed-habits system. Find hope with this game-changing heroine that knows it is OK, since thinking outside the box is something you do from within it.

I've set the kindle book for preorder, meaning to publish it on August 15th. I can postpone the publishing date once, though.

The manuscript begins with a poem.
I wrote it as a best seller, but with a literary style.
I don't want it to be beyond 70 pages.
I like those short books that are a delightful, entertaining experience.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks so much,
Michelle KorenfeldMichelle Korenfeld
