I cannot access my original page so I have registered again. Nice to meet up with you again.

- I broke my own writing rules - I used "you" which sounds like a personal thing when I should have used "I", or "a person". As in "what hoops do I jump through to become . . ." I guess it came off like a rude joke. I wasn't thinking. I had no intention of offending?

I'd say I'm an editor by nature also. I have a natural feel for written language and I love critiquing. So when I saw what you do . . .

And . . . I'm in serious need of a new income source, thanks to my health. I can't continue the work I've done all these years so I'm trying to earn from home. I've thought of doing editing because I read soooo much and catch tons of mistakes in books! When I saw that you do editing I thought I'd ask!

Do you have any tips for me? I was an A+ student in english and writing in college but I didn't finish beyond Jr. year. So without knowing the ropes or having a degree, how would someone like me become established as an editor? By "hoops" I mean, what steps do I need to take. I'm completely and totally unknowledgeable about the publishing world, big or small. I'm a real amateur. But I think I'd be a heck of an editor.

Thanks!
Becky

And just so you know, I print greeting cards and 8x10 prints of just about any image on my website, and those are quite inexpensive. I also sell larger (~24x18) giclee prints of many paintings. Those are $200 each, but are about the same size as the original pieces, and are the best quality I can obtain. Archival inks on all rag, heavy paper, etc.

I'm trying to get an alphabet book published, and it sure does take a lot of effort. It's based on my "Lucy's Letters" designs, which can be seen on my website here: http://www.lucyarnold.com/Lucy's%20letters.htm. I also just wanted to mention that my mother came from Spartanburg, SC.

Best to you,
Lucy

Good luck on your sales. I am praying that my stories get published this year, picked up by an agent/publisher. I do not want to go POD.
Blessings.

Thank you so much for inviting me in as a friend! Your camps sound wonderful. Do you have any in Virginia? I'm exciting to have my dream come true with my children's novel, STAR published. I've just finished the screenplay and I hope to find a producer to option it. Wish me luck! Soft winds, Ayasta

At 6:17pm on February 27, 2008, Rita Hsu Syers said…: Thanks for adding me to your friends, Elysabeth. I have a published book called Mystery of the Crying Ghost, for ages 8-12. Would you like to review it? I also have read Rock of Realm, and one of the children who reads for me read it and she loved it. I was not able to help her with publishing it at the time, since my publishing company is still brand new and I need another year or so before I can take on other authors. It's worth reading, however, and I hope she does well.
