I took a stab at it here, but I'm not sure I'm really satisfied. I got some of the process, but I really didn't capture the results. Of course, some of that is that editing should be invisible in the final product, so it's really hard to tell people who haven't worked with an editor anything more than, "It will be your own ideas and voice, only more so."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the enthusiasm on the new project. I promise, we'll be letting the world know as soon as it's ready to unveil!Stephanie Zvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182490110208080002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-3750405873466209422009-02-01T15:02:00.000-06:002009-02-01T15:02:00.000-06:00A friend of mine is married to a freelance editor,...A friend of mine is married to a freelance editor, and they often find clients are doubtful about the cost-effectiveness of editing... the first time.<BR/><BR/>Waiting to see what the project will be!george.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893495384863805805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-41106117649544795482009-01-31T10:25:00.000-06:002009-01-31T10:25:00.000-06:00And c) Greg is really ready to be able to talk abo...And c) Greg is really ready to be able to talk about the project more broadly.Stephanie Zvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182490110208080002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38764987.post-84223470557131144762009-01-31T10:12:00.000-06:002009-01-31T10:12:00.000-06:00I can attest that a) Stephanie is an outstanding e...I can attest that a) Stephanie is an outstanding editor and b) the new project is very exciting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
