I've also been heavily editing my book manuscript. Steve took it and marked it up with suggestions that I could use if I felt they were relevant. In all, I probably used about 70% of his suggestions and after a second edit on my part I ended up finding other things that needed changing or re-writing. We will soon begin the process of putting together a proposal form to submit to an agent. If the agent likes what he sees, he may find me a publisher. If publishing does not work out, then sometime before the end of the year I will put everything in a neat package and offer the manuscript to anyone who wants to read it. I'm hoping for enough interest for publishing, Steve thinks it's got what it takes. But, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Thank you all for your continued interest, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
