Copy Editing Done!
I recently finished reviewing the final edits made by the copy editor assigned to Deadly Lullaby at Random House, Ted Allen. A thoroughly professional job, making all the punctuation consistent, correcting a typo here and there, generally paying attention to the little things a fiction writer overlooks when swimming in the creative soup.
I pushed the Send button and thought, ‘Man, the book is out of my hands now.’ A little scary, but mostly a relief.
