I’ve finished my first review of the edited book and have taken a couple of days for it to sink in. A re-read of the Editor’s Report is a daily event. I have wondered about the contribution an editor actually provides when I’ve read the effusive tribute in the ‘acknowledgement’ section of a novel. Now I know. The level of detail is truly remarkable. I’ve read about and studied the techniques that you disclose. They didn’t hit home until you applied them to my work. Makes sense. When one reads about how to write they’re being ‘told’; through editing they’re being ‘shown’. I now detect these principles in novels I’m reading. Before I didn’t. Thank you for breathing life into what was more outline than novel. I plan to continue to review the edited manuscript until I’m confident in following the guidance provided. What has been a lonely journey now benefits from new purpose, confidence, and direction. Your contribution will prove invaluable.
