John Updike Dies

"Writing and rewriting is a constant search for what one is saying."

........ John Updike

All Over But The Selling

Publishers and literary agents are becoming increasingly selective about the books they are willing to look at. As fewer books are purchased it is even more important to submit your best work. Yet revising, editing, and polishing can be daunting. There is so much to look at - structure and shape, pacing, theme, opening, language, style and viewpoint, and closing, etc. More and more writers are hiring book doctors and editors to help them make that first or next sale. I can help you rethink your project and get the book ready for submission. Send an email describing your manuscript to patriciapunt@gmail.com and I'll reply immediately
