I got the grade of "A" I was expecting from my publisher for the manuscript I just turned in.
"Hi, wow! What a story! Here is my edit of BILL OF RIGHTS. It’s really good, and I found it very helpful to me as an adult, so I’m sure kids will appreciate it as they have to study it in the classroom. Teachers and librarians everywhere will thank you."
Edits are small word tinkers.
🎉
I like when teachers and librarians thank me. I also like when the editor who gives me money is happy.
@Teri_Kanefield Would like your analysis on this https://wapo.st/47XWnk3 | Florida Judge telling Disney they didn’t have any standing to sue Gov Ron DeSantis and that his decision on removing Disney’s special tax district was constitutional.
You would have had the same reaction if you'd already written more than 15 books, including 8 with that particular editor, and you knew from experience you could do the entire book in 3 months if you had to and it was already half finished.
Also the books are short, under 40,000 words and I know a lot about the topics.
Nonetheless, I believe I deserve a significant raise for my next book.
