I"m scared to go back to the first couple of books I wrote that I haven't looked at for years. It will be quite an eye opener and I'll be able to see how far I've come since then.

I know you do a lot of different types of edits, apparently consecutively. Have you done a post (or series of posts) that details all the various types of edits you do, in which sequence, how you handle issues you discover that aren't part of your current edit, etc.? I'm aware of some, but I think not all. It would be an interesting read.Jeff Hargetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198367021884647821noreply@blogger.com
