Words of Encouragement

Dawn,
Congratulations on your book! You’ve got a really interesting premise, some really engaging characters, and good visual imagery! Great job so far!
Callie Ferguson
Conceptual Editor

This was sent to me from the conceptual editor along with the manuscript. The editor had highlighted the areas that needed attention, and only I could make the changes. If he/she made the corrections it would be called “Ghost Writing” and that is not allowed. I could hire a “Ghost Writer” but I chose to do the work myself. To tell you the true, I cried after reading the kind words Callie shared with me. It’s a lot of work but very rewarding when an editor tells you your story has engaging characters. If you really desire something in life, just make it happen. If you fail at least you can say you gave it your ALL!
