This was the editor of “Life On Earth”. I asked her what she thought, being the first to ever complete my book cover to cover, and this is what she emailed:
“The first time I read Declan, it was certainly an adventure. I never knew what was going to happen next, and I don’t know how many times I interrupted Anna’s work to tell her what was going on in your story that day. And reading it again now, I really get the chance to look at your writing style. I like the casualness of it. It fits your story perfectly, and, honestly, it’s a tone that a lot of authors struggle with. They think that since they’re writing a book, they have to write all fancy-like. You wrote Declan like I suspect you talk, and that makes your book engaging. But my god, man! Indent your paragraphs properly!”
Love this girl. I couldn’t have found a better editor! She added so much more impact to the book. It wouldn’t be the same without her.
