Thank you very much for having me here. I found this forum through another forum while asking about self publication.
Anyway, I am not a Native English Speaker but I want to publish my first novel in English so I surely need a lot of help from you guys (especially proofreading and editing). I'll just spend my whole day now reading useful posts...

Thank you,
Don

Welcome to the Cooler Don Raden. Read, Read and read some more, and when your tired from standing up and reading, sit down and read some more. Before you know it, you will be able to accomplish this feat horizontally. I'm at that stage now. Oh! and if you ever find time between readings then by all means write til you can't write any more. It's at this point that you'll realize it's darn hard to write in a horizontal position and you need to once again visit NASA to get another one of those special pens that can write upside down.
