Now, this doesn’t concern my own book. Oh no! This was a chapter I wrote as a guest contribution for an essay collection.
To understand my jubilation fully, you have to know that my last contributed chapter (different publisher, different editor) had HUNDREDS of edits requested. So today, I opened an email relating to another contributed chapter, with some trepidation.
But all was well – the most minimal changes were required. Blink, and you’d miss them. Ten minutes later, they were done ✔️
I expect the finished product will appear well before my own monograph – which is good, because on the face of it, I’ve published very little recently. Book-writing is all-consuming when you can’t do it every day!
