Pitch Wars 2017 Wishlist!

Hi! How are you? Excited? Nervous? Hating your MS? Loving your MS? Yep, I get it. Been there, have the wrinkles to prove it. But that's what retinoids are for, and besides-- Wait, let me back up and do this introduction thing properly. And, you know, by "properly" I mean Hart of Dixie style. So, you're probably wondering who I am and why I think I'm a rockstar, when I'm just a brand new little newbie mentor.

I plan to revise wide and zoom in, likely ending with 6 drafts before I would consider the WIP polished. I will probably send the full to my CPs and betas once the draft 2 mentioned above is complete. Okay, now on to the question. I'm considering having a freelance editor read the final version prior to submission. Is that wis...
