Glad to hear it, Eric – I’d say the same about Susan Uttendorfsky, since I’ve worked with her and she has made major contributions to my blog, (see: https://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/2017/11/24/editing-101-a-series-of-64-free-editing-tips-index-for-your-future-reference/ ). Also, Author Jo Robinson, who edited and formatted my Mum’s book (see: https://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/2016/07/02/newsflash-story-reading-ape-publishes-book/ ) 😀
