2. You're an editor?

Do you have a link to a webpage for the kind of things you're looking for?

3. I'm struggling with a client right now

Edited on Wed May-06-09 10:54 PM by Blue_Roses

I'm editing her manuscript and it's a nightmare! She is going to self-publish through a small publisher ( the publisher is the one who hired me) and she thinks that this "manuscript" is a book. I had to read through it twice before I could make any sense out it! It's nothing but a bunch stories clumped together. I'm having to revamp the entire thing just to make sense out of it. It's so bad that the publisher said she would not put her name on it if something wasn't done to it. It's to the point now, I really regret accepting this, but I did and now I must get this done somehow:banghead:

4. Here is a suggestion... might work

send her to a writers group with it, a GOOD group

if she hears this from enough people, she may get the hint.
