Look out! Editor person is back on the case. This time they made in line edits to the Ridge Runner.

Having suffered through the hard copy edit era, in line edits directly in the electronic document are the only way to go. It’s easier to read red or blue comments in context than it is to look down at a piece of paper and then back at the screen. A lot gets lost in those seconds looking up, down and then up, because I forgot what the comments are half the time. Also Editor person likes to draw nifty circles and arrows which make perfect sense to everyone but me.

So if you’re out there looking for your own Editor person make sure “will do in line edits” is on their resume. Insist on it.
