Last Edits and Letting Go
11/14/2013 1:17:14 PM

Early yesterday I was doing the last edits of my new novel That Man in Siena.

Editing is a tough job for any writer. It's especially painful for me since I have been a professional book copyeditor. I know best practices for catching all those pesky problems in grammar, punctuation, and consistency.

After I have input the edits and suggestions of my most experienced and trusted copyeditor, I make at least two more "editing passes," and I always find more tiny problems to fix. Bottom line: the time comes to let go. That time came for me early yesterday. My readers will be the final judges. Please let me know what you think.

That Man in Siena will be available on December 16 in e-book retail stores.

Thanks for stopping by today. AS
