The key for me was to find beta readers that were in my target market (kids) I have a friend who is a 4th grade reading teacher & he generously offered to have his students read my manuscript. They gave me lots of great feedback which truly helped me fine tune my story. I also have all my manuscripts professionally edited which I think is so important. Basically, you just want to make sure it is the best possible product you can put out there.Karen Pokras https://www.blogger.com/profile/01746916172377042232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-779779901795229242012-08-06T09:23:20.562-04:002012-08-06T09:23:20.562-04:00oops forgot to leave my email above.. miraclesteac...oops forgot to leave my email above.. miraclesteach970@aol.com :)Dawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-8841152800008417732012-08-06T09:21:48.915-04:002012-08-06T09:21:48.915-04:00Thank you for this post!

Can you tell those who love writing, but don't know if what they have is good enough to be published into a novel, how did you take that first step. Did you know while you were writing Nate that it was "publishing" potential, or was it really a wait and see game?Dawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-91764290284923892302012-08-06T07:27:14.594-04:002012-08-06T07:27:14.594-04:00Thanks so much for having me on your blog today!Thanks so much for having me on your blog today!Karen Pokras https://www.blogger.com/profile/01746916172377042232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-50181927308906036872012-08-06T06:14:58.862-04:002012-08-06T06:14:58.862-04:00Thank you for hosting Karen today.Thank you for hosting Karen today.Goddess Fish Promotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952608939319684406noreply@blogger.com
