Hi, Allyson,

Thanks for posting. I’m glad to have an update on you and your writing. Congratulations! I’m glad my advice was of some help to you.

Your request: I have had to make it my policy not to read other people’s work, Allyson. I get so many requests that, if I fufilled them all, I would spend my time doing other people’s work and not my own. So I’m afraid I have to say no. But I can tell you that your plan to “edit to perfection” is bang on! That’s exactly what you have to do. When you hand a manuscript in, it has to be as perfect as you can possibly make it.

I wish you all kinds of good luck with your work!                                       —–Gordon Korman—–
