Nothing could be more off-putting for an agent or publisher to receive a manuscript that is full of grammatical errors, bad spelling and plot holes you could drive a truck through.

Let the Tropical Dragon (aka Barbara J Holten) go over the text word by word, comma by comma and full stop by full stop. I will make sure that everything is spelled correctly and makes grammatical sense; that characters don't change name or sex mid-paragraph; that the magic system is used according to its rules (and that it has rules), and that plot holes get plugged!
