You always give out great useful information.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder not to have our feelings hurt if an editor asks us to change something.

Worse comes to worse, there's always the head-honcho to consult. :)<br /><br />Cheryl, Glad you found the post helpful. Editors and even critique groups can catch things we just can't see. A couple of extra sets of eyes is always a good thing. :) Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925401174378785919.post-15175858099860717642013-02-04T08:30:53.120-06:002013-02-04T08:30:53.120-06:00Helpful advice, Karen.

I have an ebook, a sci fi, out with another house, and was assigned both a content and a line editor. I was far more finicky about the line edits than about the content. We disagreed on a couple of points of grammar -- I was right.
