The choice of editor is a complicated dance of both practical business arrangement and the strange emotions of a marriage. After all, we writers pour our souls into our work and time stops when you hand your work to someone who owns nothing but red ink pens… And then there is Susan Hughes! Susan took my manuscript, with exceptional nuance, nurtured my words to a level I would not have achieved on my own. She heard my voice and carved away the fluff. My first novel was vastly improved as will all my subsequent work. She’s THAT good.
