To have your copy edited is not necessarily a false economy, just expensive. I find that I suffer from word blindness with my own work, a) because I will unconsciously include words that my brain thinks I should find, and b) editing, especially of longer works, is boring. Finally, one of the hardest things to edit is good work simply because one is more interested in reading than editing.
Thankyou Dor Armitage
i am improving, and i am working on it truly
Thnaks for ur kind advise :)
NEVER pay an agent or publisher money up front.
Do not pay a "reading fee", do not pay a "submission fee", do not pay money to anybody who claims that's how the publishing industry works.
If you want to have your work copy edited before you submit it, that is your choice (make sure you research any services you use. You get what you pay for.), it's not a necessity. I regard it as a false economy - a writer should know how to edit their own work. If you can't write in standardised English, you need to learn.
Zohaib, the English you use here is a very long way from the standard you need to be a published writer. While I admire your goals, you may have some way to go yet. Good luck :)
