Copy editing

Copy editing with Monty

I've just returned the copy edited MS of Alice Bliss to Viking/Penguin.  As this is my first experience with copy editing, it has been a little overwhelming at times.  I found myself wondering if I could possibly retain one more detail.  My editor, her assistant, and the copy editor have all been fantastic. Alice Bliss has been blessed with a great team.

Here's what my kitchen table looked like for a week.  With some help from my cat, Monty.
