No, not my husband (though he's wonderful, too) - my editor: Jill Santopolo.
Due to the great success of Unofficial Official Agent Day, the writing world has issued a call to celebrate Editor Appreciation Day. Huzzah!!
I'm delighted to have the opportunity to do wave my pom-poms in celebration of my fabulous editor, or better yet give a super cheer NIGHTSHADE style!
Jill has been such a joy to work with. Insightful, considerate and encouraging, she is a brilliant editor. Jill is also a writer who understands the ups and downs of creating a novel. She's compassionate about how deeply tied I am to my story and characters, and I know she loves my them too and wants them to be their absolute best! She's a fantastic person - a blast to chat with and chock full of mad skills when it comes to bringing a writer's vision to life, overcoming all obstacles that arise.
Thanks, Jill, for being my partner and friend in this thrilling journey!
My post is about the value of editing today. Yeah, Jill Santopolo! :)
ReplyDeleteJill sent me a lovely rejection several months ago, the kind you can work from. Yay, Jill Santopolo!
ReplyDeleteI laughed at myself, cuz I went to the Barnes and Noble near my home and tried to lookup Nightshade, then realized, oh yah, it's not out yet :P
