It's been collecting dust on the shelf for a while. I'm pleased I finally opened it. <br /><br />Next post is on Show and Tell (Chapter 1 in Self-Editing for Fiction Writers). Sound familiar? Many editors here have tried to tell us how important this is. Have we listened?<br /><br />CharlotteCharlotte Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09336641340221491792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-63579781744920502512009-04-13T17:19:00.000-06:002009-04-13T17:19:00.000-06:00Great article.

To tell the truth, it was probably one of the most useful books I had in my repertoire that semester. Highly recommended, especially for people like me who can edit like a maniac when it comes to someone else's manuscript, but can't see beyond her own nose when it comes to her own. <BR/>Jenny Bean<BR/>http://theinnerbean.blogspot.com/Jenny Melzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11235663870008150355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-15673898471500963902009-04-13T07:48:00.000-06:002009-04-13T07:48:00.000-06:00I seen this book in the store a couple of weeks ag...I seen this book in the store a couple of weeks ago...
