As I was searching for editors on the FEA, I received a response from an editor. Her response was full of great ideas, advice, warnings, etc. One thing she wanted me to do was stop looking for an editor for now, and join Absolutewrite and mingle with the other writers, post the book and read other books. Below you will read my story.
My wife wrote a book, and it was her wish that I publish it. She wrote it a few years ago, and died shortly after. I have typed it into word 2010, and I think it's ready for an editor. I'm in a bind because I didn't write it, so this will probably be the only time I publish something. The title is "Make the Light Out, or What My Pennsylvania Dutch Mother Taught Me About Daily Living."
I think the book is about developing a strong family and home with integrity and love for self and others. I think the intended audience can be varied and could be home school groups, religious groups, first time parents, single mothers, independent living groups, and poor families. It’s complete and is about 7,000 words with 13 illustrations.
I have found lots of advice on self publishing.
So for now I will mingle and send some messages and soon I would like to post the book.
