Very interesting article, thank you.<br /><br />GeraldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-85869271612302559362009-04-22T14:18:00.000+01:002009-04-22T14:18:00.000+01:00It's so good to hear things from all sides of the ...It's so good to hear things from all sides of the publishing equation. The relationship between editor and author is so important as both need to aim for the same goal. I wish more editors like Emily stepped forward to remind us why novels like Julie's appeal to them--the writing and the passion!Sally Zigmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520579251842006765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-55078509313396153492009-04-22T12:46:00.000+01:002009-04-22T12:46:00.000+01:00Emily - if you want to get your editor's pen out...Emily - if you want to get your editor's pen out on that comment of mine, you'll have a field day!!

We check grammatical and structural concerns to see whether we have time within our production schedule to adequately edit and produce the manuscript" That's such an important thing for aspiring writers to remember - too often they think that rejection of an MS is an emotional rejection of thier writing, but there's so mjuch more to it. Good luck with Julie's book (which I am attempting to win ...)Nicola Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189894289540344094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-34711549629040516362009-04-21T22:33:00.000+01:002009-04-21T22:33:00.000+01:00Emily Steele here.
