Stjepan Cobets asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

First I would like to thank you for your character Miles Vorkasigen inspiring me to start writing my books. Miles decided to succeed despite all obstacles. I am an indie author from Croatia and my biggest problem is editing books in English because I can't afford it. My question relates to just that little detail. Do you know someone who could help me with pro bono editing? With all due respect, S. V. Cobets

Lois McMaster Bujold
No, I'm afraid I don't. I always got along with crit groups and writer-friends with whom I traded, and still trade, test-reads.

One does need to learn to edit oneself, because no one else can really know just what story you're trying to tell, but that's a lifelong learning process.

Good luck --

L.

Is "Horizon" the last of the Sharing Knife series? Do you plan on continuing the story? Or, is there another series to follow it?

Alli
Alli asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I love your work and my all time favorite series (not just of yours) is The Sharing Knife. I'm in a intercultural marriage so this series really hit home for me. One thing I admire about characters you write is that you show their intelligence. I always feel like I learn from your them. Could share any insight or tidbits on how you developed Dag and Fawn?

Maureen Wynn
Maureen Wynn asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I saw a question asking you for the meaning of Miles' line "I am the man who owns Vorkosigan Vashnoi" but I had to sign off before I could read your answer, and now I can't find that question in Goodreads - no frelling search function! I have my own ideas what that line means to Miles, but I would love to know what you meant by it? My apologies for repeating a question that has already been answered!
