It's not confusing and really is the best way to keep track of edits...what technique are you using now?Demitriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597317699857591880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751321921235259477.post-9952915510560874152011-01-24T13:20:01.062-08:002011-01-24T13:20:01.062-08:00How do you like using track changes?

She always picks out my typos (which is great!!) and she will give me honest advice if she thinks a scene needs more action or if she thinks something in an MS is not working. I totally trust her. She edited at some big houses and really knows her stuff, so I always take her advice and it has never let me down!!<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />HilaryHilary Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199287020561210673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751321921235259477.post-35565678180433039032011-01-24T08:02:53.179-08:002011-01-24T08:02:53.179-08:00That's why you really have to do your research...That's why you really have to do your research when it comes to agents...I knew I wanted an editorial agent.

I know someone who's through her third round of edits from her agent, and it totally demoralized.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.com
