May the road
rise to greet you,
May the wind
blow gently
at your back...
May the Irish
find you
gifted words,
So you
may never lack.

It is difficult beyond measure for a writer to find a publisher today, or even an agent... and agents are, in most cases, the first line of screening for book publishing houses.

Meticulous Copy Editors employed by the publisher are a thing of the past.  Further, today, the computer has put the scut work of writing into a manageable process for everyone ~ and everyone has a book in him. Competition is enormous.

To run the gauntlet of that competition, your writing must have not just grammatical polish and smooth syntax, but a dynamic which makes it unique. It must have a workable structure from first submission.

Self-editing is absolutely the toughest aspect of writng.  All writers, even those at the top, require objective editing... all. No exceptions.  Including me!
