Ann from Gemini Wordsmiths edited my story, “Visitation,” for publication by Schrodinger’s Mouse (www.schrodingersmouse.com).
I’ve been doing this now for 25 years, and have encountered all sorts of editors. Most don’t phase me, since I’ve also spent 25 years in the trade publishing business as editor/publisher. So I understand the need and value of good editing. I’ve had people who don’t know grammar, and I’ve had people who want to rewrite me just for the sake of rewriting.
Then, sadly few and far between, I have someone like Ann who comes along with a gentle hand, who actually reads the text and tries to get to what I’m trying to say in the text and then edits accordingly. That’s my impression of how she approached “Visitation,” and I greatly appreciated it.
Thanks for the thoughtful editing! 2019-04-23T11:02:48-04:00
