That would halve my mortgage. /faint<br /><br /><br />It is interesting (and probably very important) to distinguish between editing and copy editing (and also getting a <i>genre</i> editor, as well! It probably almost goes without saying, but probably not. It wasn't until recently in My Writing Timeline that I became more aware of these niceties.)Jennifer R.

One question: For Nice Dragons Finish Last, how did you go about finding professional copy and genre editors?<br /><br />I can Google for "professional [genre/fantasy/sf] editor" but how do I know who is good and who isn't? Just start looking at what books they've edited?<br /><br />Thanks.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14278452766134022861noreply@blogger.com
