New stretch target
Any additional money will go towards editing the other books I have ready, the first being a three part childrens adventure book series.
Project aim
Hoping to raise funds to employ a professional editor to ensure my Manuscript/s are ready & as well presented as possible before submission.
About the project
I have been writing for years, mostly poetry but in the past three have turned to novels. As of now I have written seven, mostly MG (middle grade) and YA (young adult) a few of these are ready for editing, and this is where I need help.
My husband is on a zero hours contract so money flutuates from week to week, and while we have so much more than others, I know getting my book profesionally edited could be the difference in a industry where there is so much competition, an edited manuscript shows not only that I believe in my work, but that I am willing to do what it takes to get it pitch perfect.
Getting my book edited does NOT mean I will get an agent, or a book deal. There is no guarantee that I will even if my book is perfect because the industry is so difficult to break into, but it will mean I will have sent out my work, in the best state as I could possibly could.
