I got a call from my agent, who by all accounts is one of the tops in the field and above reproach. I'll leave his name out, but if you've followed my trials in the agent hunt you'll know who he is. Anyhoo, he called and suggested I hire a copyeditor to fix the punctuation and whatnot. Of course, he knows a few....His point was valid-the stuff needs fixed and I don't have the time/complete understanding of said punctuation to do it, BUT......It's so ingrained in my head that any suggestion similar to this is bad. There's no exchange of money up front, it would come out of my advance WHEN he sells the book BUT......
