Joy Crain asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi Melanie, Any advice about final drafts and edits concerning manuscripts?

Melanie Dickerson Hi, Joy! I would suggest getting other knowledgeable, kind, constructive people to read your book before you publish it. Edit, edit, and edit some more. Keep revising, and keep reading articles and books and blogs on writing so that you're constantly learning how to write and revise better, and keep applying what you learn. Then, after doing that, your book may be ready. :-)

Hello there! I was looking for books for my sister to read, but I want the books to be appropriate. I personally haven't read any of your books, though I plan to in the future. Would you recommend your books for a young teenage girl? How "clean" would you say your books are?
