Bob Rich has been a professional editor since 1999. In 2007, He won the now sadly defunct Editors and Preditors’ contest for best editor. For the third time, he is offering writers a free book editing contest. Writers can enter the contest here.

Send him a 200-word synopsis, and the first 1000 words of your manuscript. He will select the best 10, and then the entry with the highest number of votes gets a free edit for the entire book. The contest is free. Deadline is 15th October. Hurry up and register.
