"You generally start out with some overall idea that you can see fairly clearly, as if you were standing on a dock and looking at a ship in the ocean. At first you see the entire ship, but then as you begin work you're in the boiler room and you can't see the ship anymore.... What you really want in an editor is someone who's still on the dock, who can say, 'Hi, I'm looking at your ship and it's missing a bow, the front mast is crooked, and it looks to me as if your propellers are going to have to be fixed.'" -- Michael Crichton

Call on me, a publishing insider, to evaluate your current working draft. Find out the big-picture issues so your revisions can build on strengths as well as shore up weaknesses. Only then will it be worth your time and money to invest in full-blown editing!
