I edited and re-edited for years before mine was published and I'm still thinking of things I should have or could have said different. I suppose every author feels that way at one time or another and having an assessor who is not that close to the story sounds like a great idea. No one really likes criticisim but an unbiased reader can be a big help in pointing out breaks in flow and such that you might be too close to easily see.Anna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945983971515869500noreply@blogger.com
