My back was against the wall. The grammar errors were all around me.
“I’m a developmental editor,” I said. “This grammar stuff is kicking me in the tender bits.”
“Fear not, Corey-the-human,” a voice sounded through the darkness. “The Wielder of the Red Pen of Doom is here.”
In a sick-ass flash of power and insight, Thomas, the mercenary copy editor, hacked the manuscript to shreds.
All was right in the world again.
In short, Thomas joined the Legion. Find out more about the mercenary proofreader and read his intro by clicking right here (the link will teleport you to the Human Legion website).
You can look forward to seeing our collaborative editing prowess on display in J.R. Handley’s next book in the Sleeping Legion series: Operation Breakout.
More of an update than an informative post today, but I have some how-to posts coming. I’ll be starting a new series tackling point of view, as this is the most common issue I seem to deal with in my editing work (also the item most people ask me about). Until we cross quills again, keep reading, keep writing, and as always—stay sharp!
And all was right with the world, though yon writers trembled in fear….

Don’t tremble! The more eyes we have, the better the final product will be 🙂 Plus, this new turnaround schedule should be solid and effective. One step closer to the book-a-month goal.
