introducing Cheryll
I have a close friend here in town who is a professional editor and writer, and was one of my beta readers for Tied to the Tracks, which means I trust her instincts and value her opinion. Beyond the scribbling connection, Cheryll and I have other interests in common, from dogs, kids, cooking and gardening (she keeps a weblog called dig it) to reading. Cheryll is one of the women I ambushed into reading the entire Niccolo Rising series with me, and now she's busily spreading the Dunnett word.
Cheryll and I have had many discussions about the relationship between writers and editors of various kinds, sometimes as a result of something I've posted here about my own experiences. I thought it would be interesting if she came by to present her thoughts on the issues I've raised. I would guess we'll get into some debate, because that's what Cheryll and I do, and at least part of the reason we get along so well. I expect also that you might have questions for her, which you'll be able to post and she'll answer as time permits. So look for her post sometime this weekend or early next week.
