One Year Later
I’ve been dreading this date. December 29th, 2017. It’s been exactly one year since our whole world was turned upside down and stopped. It’s been one year since I watched a team of doctors enter our hospital room with that look and know it isn’t good news they are bringing. One year since my youngest […]
Developmental Editing at Mantle Rock Publishing
Since I have started working at Mantle Rock Publishing, I’ve had people ask me what an Acquisition Editor does and if I do any editing at MRP. So I thought I would do a brief blog on my new position and what all it involves. As an Acquisition Editor, I receive and read proposals from […]
