About this Talk
The words "full rewrite" came out of his mouth and I wanted to cry. A developmental editor is a great ally to have while you're readying your manuscript for submission. Or, he's got horns and fangs and makes you feel brutalized and broken. This is about the experience of launching a rewrite (or two) at the urging of an editor and an agent who really believe in your skills and your concept but think the book's not there. Yet.
