They make the writer's job much easier. But ... what really matters is the words, whether typed on an old Royal typewriter or placed on computer disk. I do not need a hard copy at all. Most of my clients send a computer file attached to an email. I can help you do that if you wish. Then I return a file with marks and explanations in an email back to the writer when I'm done. A rather quick and effective way. However, others mail a hard copy, which works for me too. I'll get back to you privately by email and we can discuss it further.

I've been studying novels in Young Adult Fantasy (my genre) lately and paying very close attention to the first two chapters. I have to say that the most action-packed, leave you breathless opening I've found so far is James Patterson's (yeah, I know - I didn't even know he DID YA Fantasy) Maximum Ride - The Angel Experiment.
