I just seem to go insane editing my own stuff. <br /><br />I agree with the others about waiting until you hear back form Shakespeare. Once you do I would love to help you out.sundcarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00866482585240648400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079424739175991097.post-32161336638626169212011-03-23T15:00:31.132-07:002011-03-23T15:00:31.132-07:00Jeff, I'm impressed that your daughter is edit...Jeff, I'm impressed that your daughter is editing your book!

Woo...First, CONGRATS on finishing your first draft! Woot! (that's more than most people ever do, Jeff. Be proud.) <br />And, also, how wonderful that your daughter is helping you with edits. :)<br /><br />I agree with Sharon...email it (assuming you use Word, you will email the word. doc in an attachment. This way Shakespeare (and later your CPs/betas) will be able to highlight, underline, track changes, put color coded notes, questions, suggestions, etc. right on that word document and email it back to you. It's free, instant, easy, and the best way for you to instantly utilize the changes. <br /><br />Good luck and best wishes on your revision journey! :)Lola Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394765053485642935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079424739175991097.post-84578303328081939082011-03-19T06:00:17.953-07:002011-03-19T06:00:17.953-07:00Hurray, I get to read it soon!

It is much easier and cheaper to make suggestions in a document for than on paper. (Unless someone asks for it on paper.)<br /><br />I agree with Stephanie...wait till you hear back from Shakespeare and incorporate her input in your ms before you look for more Beta readers.Sharon K.
