<p><b>In addition, she will check for sagging scenes and holes in the
development. The end result will be a well-organized work that
will blend into one cohesive unit, holding all of your ideas and
passions - but a lot of your words will change. Very few editors
offer this type of editing because it is very time consuming.</b> </p>

<p><b>This type of editing does more than polish. It makes your work
shine with all the things you were trying to say – but not in the
way you would say them. If you are attached to your words, this is
not the kind of editing you want.</b> </p>

<p><b><i><u>***Please Note</u></i><i>:</i>  Deb does not
guarantee that you will be able to sell your work. No editor will
guarantee that because it depends on more than the content.
Sales hinge on the market, agent choice, timing,
persistence, and message of the manuscript.</b><br/> </p>
