My manuscript has come back from the editor for me to check over.
This is needless to say, highly exciting for me. There have been moments over the past few weeks when it felt like this couldn’t possibly be real. But now I have a hard copy of my work complete with editor’s comments and covered in little marks.
The editor gave a sheet of queries. I think only getting twelve points he felt needed to be listed in a 400 page manuscript is pretty good. Unfortunately, the rest of the manuscript shows a whole host of tiny errors. It’s hard to believe the number of times I went through this thing looking for typos when I look at the number the editor has found.
I’ve got quite a lot of pages to check through before I go down to the offices and speak to the editors in person. Still, it doesn’t look like anything major has changed and I’m pleased to note that something I wrote in as a personal joke is still there.
