UPDATE!
Bidding is closed, and Paula swooped in at the last second with a winning big of $444. However, since Deb had it in the bag Eastern-time, I'm offering her a critique, too, if she's ok with waiting until February.
Thanks to all the bidders! This went so well, I may just have to do it again sometime. :)
Original post:
I love my job, and I am intensly grateful that I've been given the opportunities that brought me to, essentially, reading books all day long.
Today I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me, taken a chance on me, and encouraged me. I want to give back.
So from today until next Thursday at 5pm cst, I'm opening bidding on a Thanksgiving manuscript edit. Any genre, any word count up to 120,000. The highest bid wins a full manuscript edit, and I promise to have the edit finished by the new year.
Please make your bids in the comments section of this post. I'll confirm with the winning bidder on Friday, and then he/she may donate the full amount of his/her bid to any book-related charity or program. Once I have confirmation of the donation, I'll start in on the edit.
Bid away! And think of which charity you'd like to support -- and if you don't win the edit, consider making a donation anyway.
I'm thankful for books, and much, much more.
