Hi,

As a full-time working author, I get a number of requests like this, and while I'd like to accommodate them, I simply can't do so and make a living, too.

I suggest you join a writer's group, either online or in your area, and solicit aspiring authors that might swap services with you.

Kind regards,

Dave(less)

Save 50% on Diane Duane’s ebooks and help save Diane Duane’s home

“The worst plan executed quickly and violently is better than the best plan not executed at all.”
David VanDyke, Reaper's Run

“Markis shook himself. What’s wrong with me? Reaching inside for the anger, he used it to regain his balance. Remember, this woman tried to kill me. The body reaches for sex after violent action, the urge to procreate, but I swore off all of that when…”
