Want to Give Your Memoir a Quick Boost?
You Need Editing.
The big New York publishing houses NEVER publish a manuscript without extensive editing! Why would you?
I offer a free consult to discuss your memoir’s needs and The Memoir Network’s ability to meet them. Call 207-353-5454 to schedule a time.
