Over in his sff.net newsgroup today, I offered Wil McCarthy congratulations on the rave review SFRevu gave his To Crush the Moon. He responded with this absolutely lovely compliment:
For those of you who don’t know it, Deanna’s biased, having copyedited the book. If you ever need a good copyeditor, be sure to ask for her by name; I’ve worked with at least a dozen over the past decade or so, and she’s literally the only one I’ve ever trusted to make my text better instead of worse. In fact, I think I said as much in the acknowledgments.
Praise like that always means a lot to me.
Well, isn’t that nice, Deanna? Go you!
Cool praise! I hope someday you can work on a book of mine. Of course, I have to finish one first!
Then, sell it.
;)

So happy you are getting the recognition you deserve!
