Editing

*grumble* Round one *DING*

so you signed the contract, sent it back, filled out all the paperwork, and just got your first round edits...What a mess. Here you were all proud and happy and now this editor just track-changed the Hell out of your baby.
What do you do?
Why, edits, of course.
Here is the deal. Editors work for you publisher. It is their job to help you fine tune the product,(it's a product now, not your baby anymore)for sale.

What is the ultimate goal? To sell a shit load of books, make an ass load of money and retire to a tropical location with a hot cabanna boy whose only desire in life is to give you full body massages by the pool.

Will it happen? Maybe, but if you want to get there you have to be willing to take feedback from you pro's, be willing to work on things, delive a product that both you and the pub are happy with and then breathe a huge sihg that it's done.
