Sunday funnies
So… as some of you know, I had my first experience with copyedits last month as we began to get The Cinderella Society ready to go to press. Copyediting is an interesting process, to be sure, and one that’s different for every author and for every book an author writes. My copyeditor was very thorough, but not nearly as thorough as this hilarious mock copyedit of Shakespeare. I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair! Mostly that was because of the coughing that ensued as a result of said laughing, but still. Priceless. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to many authors when they first get a look at that copyedited manuscript, check this out! It’s a must read (and must laugh!) for anyone who’s ever gone through the copyediting process and for aspiring writers who hope to be there soon. http://www.rightreading.com/editing/copyediting.shakespeare.htm Enjoy!
