Lord, Increase Our Faith

I’m an editor by trade. Ok, that’s one of the things I do. I have waded through hundreds of manuscripts, fiction and non-fiction, trying to use the right words to help the author say what he really means to say. It’s not that authors are dumb. Well, it’s not that all authors are dumb. SometimesContinue reading “Lord, Increase Our Faith”
