“Congratulations! This is an amazing edit. Your editor’s voice gives me confidence that you know what makes a great story and that you took care in describing the good bits and the bits that need improvement. The way you have combined the summary letter, notes, comments, and story elements provides a powerful package.
Any writer will be lucky to have you as an editor.
The edit is comprehensive, objective, and thorough. It expands beyond the software into genre and blurbs. The flow of the summary letter is effective. The reference to more than the edit such as technology and also referring to options to tense show you’ve really thought about the story.”
