by Stupid Cupid 2 years agoOK a quick question for the good people. Anyone have any experience of using copy editing/proof reader services? I picked one that advertised in W&AYB, thinking that acts as a filter for the rip-off merchants out there. I sent it off mid-december and foolishly told her there was no rush, thinking it would only take a week or so. A couple of weeks ago I enquired after my ms health and was told it would take a few more weeks - still waiting. I've no comparison, so can anyone tell me if this is a normal timeline? -
by Stupid Cupid 2 years agoJust watched a great clip on Youtube. How I got an agent for my book in one day. By Bill O'Hanlon. Very informative. Also check out MadisonMcgraw stuff. She's not the fizziest drink in the fridge, but she does have other attributes.

by maryluv 2 years agoDon't imagine that thought hasn't crossed my mind many times over the past 20 years. Actually, I think one of the reasons men join the submarine service is so they can spend months away from women and kids! -
by maryluv 2 years agoI haven't booked it yet. Need to sell the kids on e-bay first, or get their dad to look after them!
