Reflections on Editing: Acknowledgements
http://patriciapunt-writing-coach.blogspot.com/2009/03/acknowledgements.html
Thursday, March 5, 2009. Ever read the acknowledgement page of a book or novel. Books do not belong to one person. Authors routinely thank their writing buddies, critique group members, agents, editors and family members for supporting their efforts on the road to publication. July 25, 2012 at 9:34 AM. This is so incredibly true! All the wonderful people who make up the acknowledgments poured their own countless hours and heart into the story. They are wonderful! July 25, 2012 at 10:54 AM.

Reflections on Editing: "Boil It Down"
http://patriciapunt-writing-coach.blogspot.com/2009/01/boil-it-down.html
Monday, March 2, 2009. A good editor is endlessly curious . isn't afraid to ask questions . cares deeply about readers and writers . deplores mediocrities . Loves words . is opinionated . can be stubborn . knows how to listen . knows when to revise . is reasonable . and knows how to make good stock. If you've got a thought that's happy,. Make it short and crisp and snappy,. When your brain its coin has minted,. Down the page your pen has sprinted,. If you want your effort printed,. Make your meaning plain.
