I got the book manuscript back from my editor late Friday and there are too many edits for Google Docs to merge in for review… There are 1,758 edits/comments!
- Lots of these are easy edits to just click “accept” on: things like smart/curly quotes, apostrophes, dashes, and commas.
- Many are word choice or sentence structure related which just need a quick look, but are all great.
- Some require some careful thought.
- And others are bigger/structural are require deep thought and some rework…
I’ll admit… it’s quite overwhelming.
That being said, I’m so thankful to have a deeply experienced, professional editor on the team with the book’s best interests in mind.
And… now I have a lot of work to do.
Wish me luck!
