Will reciprocate on my own site - is this blog your main site, just so I link to your 'flagship', so to speak?<br /><br />FFaye L.

I am actually really looking forward to it (I suppose it helps that I got a practice run - albeit a much smaller one - with my proofreaders), but of course we're all defensive when it comes to our work, so it's really good to hear the perspective of someone who's been through it. Thank God hearing it hasn't scared me off!<br /><br />By the way, did you ever see this Rowan Atkinson/Hugh Laurie sketch about Shakespeare and his editor?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwbB6B0cQs4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
