message 1: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (lisamarie17) | 14 comments I would like to offer to edit/review any romance genre pre-published stories for authors. I have read nearly 200 romance novels this year, including several ARC copies. I email authors the mistakes/typos/misspellings and have been told several times that the editor for the publishing company didn't catch them.
I can be reached at ramslisa17@yahoo.com. Please email me a summary to see if I'm interested and how quickly you need it reviewed before I comply.

Just so everyone knows. Lisa is awesome! I sent her an ARC not too long ago and she finished it quickly and reviewed it for me! The review was great and I just recently sent her Book 2 to have a look at for me. She is Amazing! Just thought you all should know that!
Hugs!
Ember

Ember - you are WAAAAYYY too kind. It is almost a guilty pleasure to read new stuff and give my opinion and find ways to help the author. :) Hate to be cliché but it is a win/win!

Lisa (lisamarie17) | 14 comments Folks - it is my pleasure, seriously, just send me an email and I'll let you know if the summary is of interest and the format I prefer. I do a quick return if I'm really liking the story! I LOVE the experience as this is something I think I could do for real one day!

Shanon (shanonm) | 5 comments I think this is worth sharing with everyone.
Lisa just finished editing my book and I must say, she is AWESOME! I don't use all caps very often but she deserves them and then some. She goes above and beyond. Lisa is friendly and quick with replies. She is professional and our exchanges were effortless.
Lisa definitely could and should do this for a living.
Thanks again, Lisa. You're the best!

Lisa (lisamarie17) | 14 comments OMG! stop fangirling! Love you all to pieces!


message 24: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (lisamarie17) | 14 comments Hi there ! Sure, I'd be happy to help you out. Send anything you have to my email address - ramslisa17@yahoo.com. If you haven't published yet and want to send in Word format, I'll edit there. Otherwise, send a mobi file and I'll make notes in my kindle app to send to you. Does that work?
