Are You In Need Of a Good Editor?
- By Norm Goldman
- Published July 8, 2009
If you are in need of editing and/or proofreading, Norm Goldman, Publisher & Editor of Bookpleasures.com, highly recommends
Deborah's Writing Service. Deborah is the CEO & Founder of Creative Writing Institute - a non-profit organization that awards writing scholarships to cancer patients. In addition, Ms. Owen is a published author, writing course developer, private writing tutor, proofreader and editor.
Deb can make you look good! At $35 an hour her light editing includes:
Spell Check
Proofreading
Run-on sentences
Transition sentences
Blending of paragraphs
Separation into new paragraphs
Punctuation
Tense changes
Subject and verb agreement
Verbiage trim
Checking for open and closed quotes
Basic sentence structure changes
Or you can have a total rewrite for $60 an
hour that will include all of the above, plus
a comprehensive, in-depth analysis that deals with the mechanics
of writing, such as:
Filling out characters
Jazzing verbs
Change of dialogue
Adjusting pace and tone
Timeline progressions
Flashback restructuring
Plot analysis
Theme
Re-titling chapters, if needed
Building climaxes
Forming proper resolutions
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.
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.
***Please Note: 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.
For terms, agreement and further information email Deb at: bookpleasures@gmail.com

ISBN: 10:14196900868: 13:978-1419690860
R. Allen Downey once again reminds his readers what an unexpected
bombshell a book can turn out to be. In Pirate Queen: The Curse
Downey uses all kinds of “goodies” such as pirates, British M16
secret agents possessing telekinetic powers, Jewish ghosts or
dybbuks, a ghastly torture chamber used at the time of the Spanish
Inquisition, ghouls, and voodoo curses. All of these and a host of
other props stream together on the pages of this spellbinding novel
to create a mesmerizing yarn that seems to live and breathe on its
own. In fact, this is one work of fiction you won’t just put
down and forget about it once you have completed its reading for you
will certainly want to hash it over with your friends.

Although Michael Kasenow’s The Last Paradise was at times not easy to stay with as it dwells so profoundly upon appalling racist behavior, sadness and anger, all taking a heavy emotional toll, nevertheless it still was a great read. In addition, Kasenow’s cast of rich and vivid characters particularly the two main protagonists and their stories make it possible for the reader to navigate a landscape that is at times appalling but nonetheless illuminating. In fact, you want to keep reading just to find out what becomes of them.

From the very first paragraph of Svetlana Kim’s White Pearl and I: A Memoir of a Political Refuge, readers experience quite a riveting ride with amazing drama and fascinating history as the author recounts her journey from her Russian homeland to the United States where after ten years becomes a citizen.
The 282 page memoir rarely lets up as Svetlana imparts her readers with scores of character sketches and various happenings of her ancestors that provide real insights into their spellbinding and difficult lives, particularly that of her grandmother Bya-ok (“White Pearl”) who had a profound influence on Kim’s own life and subsequent survival in the United States.Review: Motif

There are two especially impressive elements about Teisha Bourne’s
debut novel Motif- the author’s strength in characterizations and
her storytelling talent. In fact, the suspense of the story
fundamentally lies in the character development, which often proves
to be quite a tricky thing to pull off in a novel, particularly if
you are a novice author.

As Grenier cites, you can find these statistics and more interesting ones from Technorati.com.

Probably the concept of midlife crisis emanates from the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung who believed that the midlife integration of thinking, sensation, feeling an intuition could perhaps lead to some confusion about one’s life to date and one’s goals. Although, popular western culture seems to devote considerable ink to the subject matter than serious research, there still may be some theoretical constructs that shore up the concept in a different light.
