Speaking of editors.

Not a big post today, ladies and gents. I saw this today in the Los Angeles Times (yes, the actual paper-in-hand edition) and wanted to share it with you all (sorry it's a little teensy, but I can't figure out how to make my blog space bigger):



Pearls Before Swine



Because that's the kind of gal I am. I'm here for you.

P.S. I so want to meet Stephan Pastis... if only to ask him how he pronounces his name.

    Cute cartoon. But I sometimes wonder...

    It looks like they're running a publishing series all week from what I've seen so far. Too funny!

    LOL, pretty funny. Now that is definitely what I call short-cutting it!

    Hilarious,

    Sounds a lot like the editorial review I received from my publisher iUniverse.

    Seriously, they did offer me some vital feedback on my manuscript, although I quickly realized they only read the first few and last chapters of my 400 page novel.

    So they only read about 40 pages while offering me a complete editorial/proofreading service for $7,500.

    No thank you. I paid two editor/proofreaders to polish my diamond-in-a-rough into a beautiful gem of a story for half the amount.
