The more I read about what editors do, the more I feel as though I should find a good one and keep her on retainer to look at everything I write. I think that’d be incredibly useful, because it goes more than an alpha reader’s “Like/Hate” but doesn’t destroy my voice like a workshop’s “Here’s what I didn’t like…”.
That and having dedicated copy-editing would take the annoying step out of my “Write, Spell-Check and Submit” process. It’d be worth it for this alone.
Wow. Thanks for the link. Fascinating.
What a great view of things from the other side! I now have two (or more!) books to toss into the TBR pile thanks to him, though. (bg)
As one of Tom’s writers, once upon a time, I can attest that he is a gentleman and a scholar, albeit he is from Mississippi …
Steve: as we Southerners always say [at least those of us not from *Lewsiana*], “You’re a gentleman and a scholar, and there aren’t many of us around.” Iddn’t that what ya really meant?
Dean, thanks for linking to me again. I promise to get closer to the bone when I write about sf in Part III. But like I said before, all I know is *all I know*.
Yep, they’s all liars, thieves, and brigands, save me and thee, and I’m not so sure about thee …
I can’t wait until we get to the Star Wars editing stories …
