Hats Off To Editor
Hi,
Just finished the edits on the 2nd book and am breathing a sigh of relief. Not because it's over. But because it's the best it can possibly be.
Grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, sentence construction,fact-checks... the list goes on. It was HARD work. Harder yet for my wonderful copy editor who goes beyond the words. She was able to dig deep in the story and say what caracter arcs were incomplete. What needed to be more clearly defined in simple language. What didn't make sense. What sense / sensations needed to be added to clarify the meaning.
I could have never accomplished this on my own. Yes, I created the characters, carved the stories, and lived the characters' lives. But bringing it together in clear, logical and flawless language... that takes the skill and knowledge of a highly trained eye and sharp mind.
Hats off to my editor!
She's one of a kind.
