A small press I work for expressed how much they value the work I do, and I think we sometimes forget the value we have when were are hunkered down in the work.Shonell Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827197354857197637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-53418866852771125332017-09-28T09:50:25.139-06:002017-09-28T09:50:25.139-06:00Coincidentally as this series ran this month, I wa...Coincidentally as this series ran this month, I was also editing a second book for a client that came back to me because she liked the way we worked as a team to make her first book better. I think that team approach is so important, having mutual respect on both sides.<br /><br />As I got to know some of my friends here via their responses to the questions, I realized one of the things that makes BRP such a valuable took, and a great place to work, so to speak, is the mutual respect we have for each other. <br /><br />Thanks so much, Shon for all the time and effort you put into making this series happen.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-75088280805723754242017-09-28T09:35:20.246-06:002017-09-28T09:35:20.246-06:00Thank goodness for those editors!Thank goodness for those editors!Shonell Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827197354857197637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-37401513404631574732017-09-28T09:34:57.164-06:002017-09-28T09:34:57.164-06:00Thank YOU for taking part in this series, Linda!

Not only ...This has been such a great series, Shon! Not only have I learned more about you, my fellow editors, but I have explored my own reasons for editing and the ways my work has helped me become a better editor with each successive job. That work has also helped me to spot areas in my own writing that need a tweak or an outright rewrite. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know all of you better and to learn from you. Thank you for providing us with the chance to explain the many hats an editor wears from the initial contact with the writer until the finished product is ready for the next step in the publication process.
