Editing Stage

Bookmark and Share

Thus far the editing process for In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day has been relatively painless. I thought it would be more time consuming, but I've simply read the edited chapters and said I like it :) Voila! I think that is a testament to the editing team at Multnomah.

At this point it's funny to look back at my self-published book, ID: The True You. I hate to admit this, but I didn't even have anybody proofread it. I was flying solo. It's very cool to have a team of editors and marketers and designers to work with.

To be honest, I never really understood all the credits at the beginning of books. I used to wonder why authors would thank so many people for the role they played in the project. I now know why.

Thanks for the book prayers.

I just read a book where the author thanked one guy for the storyline, one guy for the historical research, one guy for proofreading what the guy wrote for the storyline...and wondered if the "author" had read his book yet.

All I know is this: my ghostwriter is me!
