novel manuscript

I finally dug out my novel manuscript that has been lying the shelf for more than 5 years and submitted it to an MPH editor just for her opinion. She said that it has "interesting content" and suggested me trying Marshall Cavendish or Scholastic. Thinks that my manuscript may be too explicit for Malaysian audiences. Haha. In any case, she also said that my work needs rewriting with the help of a professional editor. And even if it is written, she can't guarantee that it will be accepted by publishers mentioned above.

Sigh...I don't know how much professional editors cost. How far can I really go in achieving my dream of becoming a writer?

Don't know if all this is just fanciful thinking or if God is behind this dream of mine...
