The only way to find out is to submit your work.

In the past, I worked with a friend on polishing my last book and a query. I’ve learned a lot about writing. Her constructive comments always helped my story. After reading them, I’d never wanted to burn my manuscript or give up being a writer.

Now, I have a potential picture book idea and my friend wants me to work with an editor who has more experience in this area.

Am I scared? Yes, definitely. Will I send her my story? Yes, of course, because I have faith in my friend. I am nervous but interested to see how this editor will help me to improve my new project.

So, my advice: Take chance. Share your work. Get feedback. Don’t be held back by fear. Who knows? You might be at the beginning of a great story.
