    Hello, Mel!

     

    A couple of days ago, I wrote a long post on the "Introduce Yourself" thread, but I don't see it.

    Does it have to be moderated?

      Hi @Damani  not that I know of.. but I didn't even get a notification of this message - and my notifications are on.  So let me check.   Thank you for bringing it to our  attention.

       
      Ok, I don't see your introduction.  I tagged you in the "introduce yourself" thread - do you see it?

      Hello, Damani

       

      Finding a developmental editor for historical fiction

       

      I have an idea for you. Go to the library and find books as much like the first draft of the book that you and your spouse have written. Then look in the acknowledgments section.

       

      Usually, the writer thanks his/her editor. Make a list then research the editors and choose one based on what they can suggest about a sample that you send them to edit. Please let me know if this helps.

       

      Recommendation for a Copy Editor/proofreader/fact checker/ indexer

       

      There may also be an association of developmental editors online with their specialties listed. I found a copy editor/fact checker/proofreader/indexer this way. His name is Frank Steele. When you get to that stage in the process do look him up. He's excellent and a dream to work with.

       

      Success to both of you on your book

       

      Much success to you and your spouse on your book.
