Start it and send it off to a couple of honest and not timid readers that aren't family and get your style and sequence set up and then draft it on!<br /><br />It will be so much fun for both of you and I truly feel with your talent and this subject matter, it will sell very well. <br /><br />xoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-70175559554332498302013-03-26T21:30:26.473-04:002013-03-26T21:30:26.473-04:00What a beautiful story of friendship.

I think the first step after Hanna reads them again is to choose a sampling representative of the bunch and send copies to a few trusted readers. <br /><br />Choose people who are book readers and also willing and able to be fully forthright with you. This isn't a job for someone who isn't able to look you in the eye and shake their head no. In general, you don't want your mom, sister, of best friend to be your beta-reader or if/when the time comes, your editor (<b>definitely</b> not your editor!). <br /><br />A friend like Hanna is a rare gift. Being in possession of a living history of your friendship is dazzlingly wonderful. I think most women treasure at least one friendship in our lives--the bond we share with someone who has seen us at our worst and hasn't run screaming into the night--so your potential book would surely strike a chord with many people. <br /><br />Good luck with this, Amy! I hope it turns out to be something you and Hanna decide to pursue.
