I read often that writers should have their manuscripts professionally edited before submitting it to agents or publishers. But what if a writer cannot afford the cost. I've seen some for my size manuacript go as high as $2,500! I have two kids in college and can't afford it. Plus how do you know if they will do a good enough job worthy of that kind of price?
So, if I can't afford to have my manuscript professionally edited, and I've done the best job I possibly can to edit it myself, is that okay? I hear agents want a perfect manuscript.
Any suggestions? I would like to get feedback on my novel, but I can't pay anyone. What should I do?
