Completed a 64,000-word ms for a memoir based on the death of my youngest sister by a serial killer who was caught and executed. The story is how her death affected my life. Three agents with large agencies have expressed interest in the story. Based on what they've read (10-20 pages) they say I need to polish the ms. One said it needs more than a polish and tried to steer me into putting it into a three-act structure, which for a memoir is not particularly the best. It needs an arc and I need help finding it. I will owe a lot to the writer who has the skills and decides to help me. If I can get this ms "polished", I am pretty sure one of these agencies will help me publish it. Thanks in advance.
