DR. DOROTHY E. HOOKS Comment by DR. DOROTHY E. HOOKS on July 3, 2009 at 2:05am
Hello Everyone,
I need help in marketing my book entitled, "Unholy Matrimony: Healing For The Abused Woman." It was published in June 2007 and I have had several book signings but it is going kind of slow. I have an upcoming book singing at a women's retreat in Oct but I want other avenues to get my book out. Thanks

I need an editor. I’m currently working a major manuscript that should break me through as an author. Before I send it to any publishers I want it edited. I’m not seeking a professional editor (because they charge too much) but somebody with natural editing skills from this site. I will pay for the service (which can negotiate on). If anybody is interested let me. Remember I won’t need this done until a few months from now because it’s not yet finished.

I am a novice writer. And I have completed my first manuscript
titled,"Pray and Not Faint." I need an anointed person to edit my book proposal.
Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for this! It's exactly what I've been looking for--I'm trying to get started in this field, but really had no idea how to do that. I look forward gaining insight and knowledge from like minded individuals.

Hello to all, I have not been so active in this group, which is about to change. I have been so busy getting things into perspective and still doing the same, but felt the need to share and leave you with blessings and success.
