Do you give free opinions? I have a question about a children's book I have written. I will probably self publish, and the likelihood of my work being read beyond my circle of friends and family is remote. So, I need my financial investment to remain minimal.

Oh, I feel like a foolish cheapskate !

Yours truly, nevertheless,
