Editing Giveaway!

Do you need some help with editing? I ALWAYS do. In fact, I'm a firm believer in editing a book to death.

P.S. She didn't give me permission
to use this picture, but I wanted to use
a personal rather than professional shot.
I have an amazing friend and critique partner who has recently begun to offer her services professionally. Now, I have worked with a number of people over the years, but Rachel is by far THE BEST. She specializes in sci-fi and fantasy, but has been kind enough to branch out to historical, and even dabbled in romance for my sake. (You're the best, Rachel!) I swear the woman never stops reading, and her understanding of the whole story process/balance is mind-blowing. She's the first person I want digging through my mess of a manuscript, and the last stamp of approval I want before sending it out the door.

Right now Rachel is giving away

       1. A fifty page edit
       2. A ten page edit
       3. A 2-round query help

So how do you enter the giveaway? Hit her site and share word about the giveaway by tweeting, blogging, or leaving a comment about the contest. --But you have to hurry. Her giveaway ends on June 8th.

And that leads me to a point of curiosity. How many edits do you go through before standing back and calling it good?
