Thank you for this very honest note. I want to assure you that I've worked with a lot of authors and every one was different in his or her own way. The editor's role is one of support, as the&nbsp;editor and the author share a common goal: make the text the best it can be.&nbsp;<br /><br />Editor World has provided this email part of the website&nbsp;so that we can communicate directly as often as needed. I appreciate a lot of&nbsp;emails and will answer all of them.<br /><br />When I edit, I always add many&nbsp;comments in the text if I need clarification&nbsp;or&nbsp;confirmation&nbsp;or want to make suggestions.<br /><br />So the door&nbsp;to my virtual office is always open.<br /><br />I like the term "book baby" and I'm glad you're passionate about the draft. You've already accomplished in huge feat in producing 65K words.<br /><br />Jackson<br /><br />
