Hi, Michele!<br /><br />Wow! Pretty impressive--God has a way of guiding us to do what He needs us to do if we listen! I understand about needing to raise funds, and I'd be honored to work with you on the project. Not sure why the other editors declined--it could be for any number of reasons. Sometimes I decline samples when I am super busy, but I rarely decline novel samples--that's what I like to work on! And religious themes have just as much of an audience as any other genre. I find that it's not the genre or subject matter that makes a book good--iit's whether the story and writing are compelling.<br /><br />I would love to read what you have in the meantime for an informal, &nbsp;no-cost assessment--you can send it to me at <a href="mailto:lckenney@hotmail.com">lckenney@hotmail.com</a>. I will make sure to keep it safe and let you know what I think!<br /><br />Thank you, Michele, and keep writing!<br /><br />Laura Kenney
