Cloud 9

Today I'm on Cloud 9. An established author (Ms. Eden Winters) asked to read a story I'm working on. I'm really not keen on it, but sent it to her. This is what I got back from her this morning:

---

OMG! You're a writer, all right. You've got a great voice! You've captured me from the get go. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your story.

Is it okay if I beta it? That is, correct typos, make suggestions, edit, that sort of thing? Trust me, this is cleaner and has less things to notate than lot of stories I get from published authors. I can send a sample of what I mean if you'd like.

Hugs,
Eden
