My age...Thank you for this wonderfully timely post! My agent recently landed me a three-book deal, and the first two manuscripts (already written) are due on my editor's desk in 10 days. Though I know she'll have plenty of edits for me when the time comes, I've been tweaking and polishing and perfecting on my own before sending them to her for the first round of edits. I'm nervous to see whether she'll even notice the tweaks I've made between the time she last saw these manuscripts and the time I turn them in. I'm also curious what additional edits she'll have for me.<br /><br />Thanks so much for shedding some light on this process!<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463170686978757118.post-34009318262504581502010-07-20T00:16:39.120-07:002010-07-20T00:16:39.120-07:00Oh, thanks for this!
