I’ve been working on the copy edited manuscript of Very Grateful that was returned to me the other day. I’m agreeing with almost every edit, mainly spelling out numerals, eliminating commas and the word “that”—too many of both—and responding to a few comments and questions. Working with electronic editing is simple and a rather silent experience, but not a solitary one.
This current editor is the one assigned to me when I published with Heinemann. I didn’t meet him then, nor were we in direct communication. This time, however, since I am self-publishing, we have email contact, but still no face-to-face. And yet he is present as I go through the edits. I’m very grateful for this and hope we will meet sometime.
