Do we have Book Editors here?
Please make yourself known!
My friend is looking for one and I would like to help them find where all of the editors hang out these days! (I am hoping the answer is Fedi)
Also - NO "editors" who use AI and just shove writing into LLM. Real human workers only!!
Edit: added a tag, and trying to reply to everyone tomorrow!

There's a minor glitch in the text at this passage:
"between thmodel
e goals of diversity in peer review and improved efficiency."
#copyedit
And done! I completed the 1,100-page copyediting project!
I look forward to hearing what the author has to say about the editing. I've made a lot of suggestions for tightening it up. She might even get it down to 1,000 pages. 😆
Limbering up!
Back at my desk.
Let's crack on with this edit.

#indexing books before the #copyedit really drives home the degree to which #acquisition #editors (at least at this #press) do not do any mansucript development.
How do we normalize the hiring of #developmentaleditors as SOP in the book writing process, given this absence (at least at those presses where this is a structural absence)?
