The very first thing she asked me to do was to chop it to under 1000 words, and I am certain she felt even that was being generous.

Other than that, I heard an editor say during a workshop that she got nervous if she received a midgrade ms. that was more than 150 (ms.) pages. <BR/><BR/>There's also a really quick tool at Renaissance Learning (the people who do the quizzes).

So many likes and dislikes came up over and over again; a few of the reviewers had interesting insights. I ordered a few reviewer's favourites to read for myself, then went back for another edit and caught things good and bad. <BR/><BR/>I wish more publishers would offer the 'Look Inside' feature: I still like reading a few pages before I buy a book.Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-24891644069417809742008-08-15T12:58:00.000-04:002008-08-15T12:58:00.000-04:00Oh, oh, what method do they use to count the words...Oh, oh, what method do they use to count the words?
