Work vs. Play
Published by Deanna Hoak April 15th, 2003 in kidsI’m afraid my daughter’s gotten pretty spoiled to me being on hiatus from copyediting. I’m taking part in the writers’ workshop at Wiscon, and I received the stories to look over last night. Blaine walked into the kitchen for a snack as I was taking the manuscripts out of their envelope, and she immediately stopped with a look of dismay. “Oh no!” she said. “Not again!” She then ran off in search of Bill, yelling, “Daaadddy! Mommy has projects!!”

I'm a freelance copyeditor specializing in fantasy and science fiction. SF/F novels I have copyedited have been finalists for (and have sometimes won) the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Golden Spur, John W. Campbell Memorial, Quill, Locus, Philip K. Dick, British Science Fiction, British Fantasy, and World Fantasy awards. In 2007 I was short-listed for a World Fantasy Award for my copyediting.

My daughters are the same, but with all the manuscripts I receive for MarsDust, they’ve gotten used to seeing manila envelopes poking out of the mail box.
