A writer's sent me something that needs a lot of editing. The trouble is, she sent it not to be edited but to be reviewed.
It's her self-published novel, which I heard about from her PR firm. The announcement came with the notice that anyone who wanted a review copy or an interview should ask the author herself -- IOW, she's only got the cheap PR package, one step up from DIY.
If I let our reviewers at it, they'll be . . . harsh.
Offering to edit it myself would be a bit opportunistic, or a conflict of interest or something. Besides, she probably can't afford any editor, even me.
Praying for wisdom on this one.
