IT IS A DARK TIME FOR EDITORIAL.

ALTHOUGH CHILDREN'S BOOK IMPRINTS HAVE FINALLY PROVEN THEIR MIGHT AS THE BOOK MARKET FALTERS IN OTHER CATEGORIES, IMPERIAL TROOPS HAVE DRIVEN TITLE COUNT PER EDITOR TO EPIC HEIGHTS, AND RELENTLESSLY PURSUED GROSS MARGIN ACROSS THE GALAXY.

In other words, I'm still here.
But I don't have the plentiful half-seconds of free time I used to have. Once upon a time I did things other than work and thought of my publishing house as the place I visited, and my apartment as the place I lived. But that was back in Episode IV.

The rebellion, however, is not dead.

Nice writing style. Funny and witty about a sad subject. Happy New Year.

Welcome back, welcome back! Even though I am only an illustrator (and perhaps a former one at that, as I have doubts about illustrating children's books anymore), I have missed your brilliant commentary. An aspiring author recently sent me a "story" that gave me enormous sympathy for the interns and editorial assistants who daily plow through such laughable dreck.

Welcome back! We've missed you and were wondering what happened.

Yes, it is a dark time.

WooHoo!!!! Good to see you! I was just checking in to sigh at your absence, and was met with a whole page of new posts! Thank you! :)

Fabulous. I feared you had drowned under a sea of unsolicited.
I understand what you mean about being drowned under editing manuscripts, though. My own editor is in the same boat. Hope she survives - she's fantastic!

Don't despair! There are still a lot of us out there who love books and thank God for everything youall do. I'm a librarian, and just today I watched a kid's eyes light up when I handed her the right book. We love you!

Realize what kind of crowd you have. In the event that your crowd is all the more mechanically solid, you should converse with them uniquely in contrast to on the off chance that they are moderately aged housewives. Focus on whom you are focusing on, and figure out how to talk a similar way they do so as to cause them to feel generally greet. Satta King Play Bazaar

These are all really solid tips. I can’t tell you how often I see a comment on one of the blogs I write for that amounts to “nice post” and nothing more. I’ve even worked at a couple of sites that delete comments that don’t add to the discussion!
