I believe I was born to edit. I have edited most of my adult life, as a profession, for my children, reading anything crossing my path and now the book I am writing.Authors pay me to edit their books, preferably prior to publishing, although editing in Kindle format is a snap. Once done, I loan the book back to the author so he or she can make corrections and republish.The reason I used that particular quote from your book was because I counted 58 errors up to that point (just as it switched to 12%), forcing me to stop reading. I saw indications your book would contain good advice but could not force myself to continue.In Kindle format, I highlight in red (adding a note indicating my issue) because I cannot use my ever-present red pen. Your errors range from incorrect word choice, punctuation, to a bevy of unnecessary words, etc. You also talk down to your readers; your wording would work well for 3rd and 4th graders. As Kindle has an active dictionary, readers can look up the meaning of the few words they may not  understand, so please don't make the choice for them.I'm sorry I couldn't justify more than one star, but that, in my considered opinion, was more than it deserved. You have wasted my time and money, hence my review.I have included a book I edited in Kindle format. You will find my name in the dedication, and yes, she did pay me and has already hired me to edit another of her books, also in Kindle format.#Betrayal: A nuclear fiction novel of survival
