Looking for help with editing my book.

Hello everyone, 

I have just finished my first book. I am extremly happy and looking forward to getting it published on Lulu.

It is a book for 7-10 year olds. The only problem is I can't find someone to edit it for me. 

So, could someone please do me a huge favour and edit my book.

It might be a good idea to let people know how many words it consists of.

Indeed, and it is not a book yet, but a draft, and is far from finished, as you point out yourself :-)

Hi IWazEr1,

In case you're interested, Lulu does offer paid book editing services. You can read more about those, and request a free consultation here:

My personal opinion is that you should not promote Lulu paid services here. We here of lotto f problems and bad service. I've already been reprimanded by Andy for criticising them. How many of those services are offered by Lulu salaried staff as homers?

Re: Looking for help with editing my book.

It's Lulu's site, they can do what they want, and you Ken are advertising your services in here (and me my own site with my books etc on).
But I would agree that when someone asks for advice and help in the forums they should get it and the answer should not be cross our hands with silver.
Then again, if no one does buy Lulu's services then the site would not be free.
