She wants to find a good book as much as you want her to buy yours.<BR/><BR/>I have found editors to be very skilled in dealing with nervous authors so trust them to be kind. You may hear of exceptions, but this is a big part of what they do for a living. They're good at it. They're not going to reject you for being nervous or fumbling your presentation.
