I still miss Helen Woodall, but still have Michele Paulin, and Courtney Hoffman who never fail to make me laugh.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed my edits.

They can take a reasonably good story and help turn it into something really memorable. My editor at EC, Mary Moran, was excellent with details. She would say, on page 114 of the m.s., hey, back on page two you said X and now you're saying Y. She caught it ALL. My editor at Samhain, Sasha Knight, was incredibly good at helping me become a better writer. Using my dialog better, cutting extra crap. She was/is amazing. If I go back to submitting to the epubs, I'll go to Samhain bc of Sasha.

It took me a while to figure out how to work with the tracks...I spent quite a bit of $$ printing out my editor's pages and going back through my MS. Sometimes I'd forget which version I'd been working in, which would cause poor Chuck much confusion, if one of the 'corrections' wasn't in a later version, lol:)<br /><br />But finally did figure it out, and he was MUCH happier with me:)Kenzie Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160523410013966070noreply@blogger.com
