It'll make the manuscript so much more polished. Otherwise I'd hunt for good critique partners. It could get expensive trying to have a lot of manuscripts professionally edited before querying.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-72298918179987182292013-07-08T08:36:48.278-07:002013-07-08T08:36:48.278-07:00I'm planning on self pubbing and I've used...I'm planning on self pubbing and I've used an editor - and she's amazing.
