Reading and Editing

Tweet

It's a good thing I decided to read through the manuscript before I handed it back to the publisher. With all the suggested edits, some things were missed, especially punctuation. I've also added a couple deleted sections back into Thread of Evidence. As a detailed writer, it goes against my way of writing to just sum up a section. For the most part, the accepted suggestions have stayed in place. It's going fast as I'm already on chapter 11. I looked up content editing this morning so I would know what's coming my way. It's a heavy edit. That's the best way to describe what I'm going to go through. I'm keeping that in mind as I read through the manuscript. I know I said I didn't know how they could take the manuscript down further than they did when I started this edit. Now, I don't know what they're going to suggest with the content edit and hope it won't be dumbed down more than they already did. Yes, that's why some of the suggestions have been rejected and put back. I will not allow anyone to make my manuscript something a person will gag on as they read it. It would be okay for those who love reading those mindless romances, but I want something better than that when this is finished. I keep remembering what my publisher said in our meeting, she agreed with all the suggestions from the editor. That was before I saw what the editor suggested. We will compromise. How is your day? Thanks for reading.
