Writing my novel

I Have finished a rough draft of my third book and it is 191 pages long. I am currently looking for an editor to help me with punctuation, grammar and flow. I am seeking a traditional publisher for my book. So a polished manuscript is necessary for me to take the next step.
The publishing world is a whole different entity and I am lucky I have someone guiding me through it. I have self published in the past but the support ceases from these publishers as soon as the money stops flowing out of your pocket.
I know I will still have to market my book with a traditional publisher. But at least my book will have a chance to be in bookstores, the library and might possibly be reviewed by a major newspaper or a media outlet.
There is going to be a lot of challenges ahead of me, but the rewards definitely outweigh the costs. I will keep a positive outlook and remember good things come to those who wait.
Keep writing and shooting for the stars. come visit me at http://toddhemmingbooks.com
