[Editing] The Pen Cushion (Kerry Estevez)

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

We try to keep to a one-agent-or-publisher-per-thread policy here. There arethreads on both Medallion Press and Bob DiForio--if you check the Index, you should be able to find them, and post the information there, where writers will be more likely to see it.

I'm going to close this thread and let it sink.

Out of curiosity, did the agent recommend you to the editing service?

Oops!

The Pen Cushion's worth a thread, methinks.

An unfortunate number of typos for an editor's site.

Hi there and thank you for the heads up on the site. I was getting the site launched in a hurry yesterday. In addition, I had a bad case of vertigo. Again, thank you. I will go and make the necessary corrections.

An editing service should provide names and brief bios for all its staff (which the Pen Cushion doesn't). You really don't want to work with an editor unless you're sure s/he has professional editing or publishing experience--and without specific information about the editor's credentials, you have no way to tell.

Victoria, you're right. I will go in and make the changes. I appreciate the feedback. We will make the changes. I am new to this site and find it to be very helpful. Thanks again

Thanks for being open to suggestions!

Don't take this the wrong way, but you ought to go ahead and spend a few bucks on a web designer. A crisp, clean website would go along way in spelling professionalism.

No offense taken

This is certainly a learning experience! Thank you all for your suggestions We're just starting out, so we're taking it all in. I think I do need to put our credentials out there.
